PESSIMISM TO PEPTIMISM

PESSIMISM TO PEPTIMISM

Roger A. Davis

Does evil outweigh good?
Do you think you are being misunderstood?
There is one who knows better than a brother
It’s God, The Father, like no other

Some walk in veils of gloom
Expecting and accepting attitudes of doom
Been there, done that, for times untold
Happy days now, I’m gospel bold

I go to a pep rally at a UMC Fellowship
A chance to praise and worship
Where we are edified for the race to run
Our Savior enjoys His family’s having spiritual fun

Where we are turned into His likeness, too
By His word, freed from pessimistic glue
Here is a coined word, ‘Peptimist.’ What’s that about?
Peptimist: Christians by hope and faith, reaction; gospel cheers they shout

They read Romans Chapter 8
And such joy does it translate
Their voices and hearts soar above
By trusting in His Holy Love

So turn your whine into song
Because in His love is where you belong
And wherever the pep rally is, Jesus will appear
For, if it is just two or three, that, too, He finds dear
