in this fallen world

In this fallen world there are trials and suffering
Sorrow and pain to be found
And sometimes I'm tempted just to give up
And give it all away.
But then I remember, Jesus my Saviour
Humbled though he was God
He was rejected, he was forsaken
His life lead to the Cross!

CHORUS
Let us hold fast to the hope we profess
Let us run the race that's set before us
Let us encourage each other as the Day draws near
On that Day, we will see
Him coming on the clouds of heaven, coming
To take us home. (x3)

In this fallen world we are but strangers
Called to suffer for Christ's name
We are to witness to the ends of the earth
Unafraid and unashamed.
But my heart is so weary, troubled and heavy
I cry out: O Come Jesus Come!
For we have been chosen, to be God's children
We belong to the Kingdom to come!

CHORUS
Let us hold fast to the hope we profess
Let us run the race that's set before us
Let us encourage each other as the Day draws near
On that Day, we will see
Him coming on the clouds of heaven, coming
To take us home. (x3)

Anyone feel like putting these lyrics to music? I never was able to compose songs... it's just not my gift; but if anyone has spare time (lol as if) or like my lyrics enough, feel free to try make up a melody and chords to go with it!
