Name: Hope
Duration: P00H05M17S
Description: Written in December 2018, Hope was my first true worship song, in lyric and feel. After I wrote it I thought that if I never wrote another song, at least we'll have Hope! I'm glad it wasn't the last song though! My kids often sing backup with Dad on this song.

lyrics

Burdened with sleep
I fall on my knees
And give thanks

Because I can’t be
Without You with me
I just can’t

There is nothing
That I can bring
That You need

There’s not a thing
That I cannot bring
And lay at Your feet

Jesus
Jesus
For You to self I die
Jesus
You are the reason why
The light in the darkest of days

Jesus
Jesus
Born on this earth to die
Jesus
To the Father You did rise
Worthy of all our praise

A transformed life
Cannot be described
In words alone

This peace and joy
From the God of hope
Overflows

Our destinies
Ending the same
In the grave

But everyone
Who calls on His name
Will be saved

Chorus

Laugh while I cry
Sing as I sigh
A fool to the wise

We wait patiently
For what we can’t see
With our eyes

I have not taken hold
But I’m pressing on
Towards the goal

To Jesus Christ
The source of our strength
And our hope!

Chorus
