Hope came to life inside my soul
When I realized I’d been saved to the uttermost
By the One who lived then died on a tree
So that I could know Him as the light of love
Who shines bright, destroying every fear in my heart
Hope awakened a joy within my spirit
When I comprehended the news that I was someone
Who had found the light of a love, a wonder
Beyond any description, any knowing, anything
He is more sure than the moon and stars, the sun
Cannot shine brighter than His pure, sweet love
Hope stirred within my heart where I know Him
The One who is a promise, a prayer, a psalm, forever
My inspiration, my kindness, my reflection of belief
In the light who prepares my heart for the freedom
That comes to life inside the soul who knows His grace
His whisper of love giving second chances, redemption
Love that is stronger than the sun’s reflections
Raining down joy that uplifts and feeds the spirit
With an adoration, an affection, that abides on the inside
Of the heart who knows that He is God’s light
And, He is life and love – He is the joy from above
Hope rouses the feelings of elation within my heart
Because I know the One who is filled with sweet love
He inspires my thoughts to listen to His words
Believe in the promises that He has left me with
Lingering in the waters of His amazing, lasting grace
The blessing of a love that is filled with assurance
That He will always be there, just beyond a prayer
Where I know He will reveal His kindness, His care
And reassure my spirit that He will always be there
Hope silences all my fears and reminds me why I can say
I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams, with blessings
That penetrate my spirit with feelings of God’s power
His overwhelming gentleness, tenderness and relieves me
Of every sorrow, each dread, all the worry that brings distress
He reminds me that I am loved and I can live on these prayers
To the One who makes a way where no way has ever been
The One who guides my heart through the darkest dread
And assures me that I am loved much more than I can comprehend
Hope spoils every damaging word, all darkness, all alarm
With a feeling of His light pouring through the hearts
Who know Him as Savior and believe He has been alive
Within the spirit of those who know His love is prepared
To strengthen every spirit with kindness, peace and love
That comes to life inside the heart who knows this light
Reflects the wonder of a life who gave us so much more
Than we could possibly ever thank Him for… He gave us
A second chance, forgiveness, a way to come to terms
With all the sorrows, regret and disillusionment that remind
Our lives are His, paid for with a price that was higher
Than any price we could have paid… with Him, there is
A true and living grace that awakens spirits to the assurance
That Jesus is alive, living with us, living within us!
And, I hope He knows the way that I praise Him!
