HOPE

Snippet

When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.” ― Pittacus Lore, I Am Number Four

Scripture

And patience produces character, and character produces hope. 5 And this hope will never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts. He gave us his love through the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to us. When we were unable to help ourselves, at the right time, Christ died for us, although we were living against God. Romans 5:4-6 NCV

(VERSE 1)

If everything comes down to love

Then just what am I afraid of

When I call out Your name

Something inside awakes in my soul

How quickly I forget I'm Yours

(PRE-CHORUS)

I'm not my own

I've been carried by You

All my life

(CHORUS)

Everything rides on hope now

Everything rides on faith somehow

When the world has broken me down

Your love sets me free

(VERSE 2)

And when my life is like a storm

Rising waters all I want is the shore

You say I'll be ok

Make it through the rain

You are my shelter from the storm

(CHORUS)

Everything rides on hope now

Everything rides on faith somehow

When the world has broken me down

Your love sets me free

(PRE-CHORUS)

I am not my own

I've been carried by you all my life

(CHORUS)

Everything rides on hope now

Everything rides on faith somehow

When the world has broken me down

Your love sets me free

(CHORUS)

Everything rides on hope now

Everything rides on faith somehow

When the world has broken me down

Your love sets me free

(CHORUS 2)

You've become my hearts desires

I will sing Your praises higher

Your love sets me free

(Your love sets me free)

Your love sets me free

(You love sets me free)

Your love sets me free
