My Faith Keeps My Hope Alive

M-y faith keeps my hope
A-live and burning still; 
R-ainy night disappears, 
C-louds fade above the hill.
I-n May thirtieth morn, 
A-nother dawn starts to shine; 
L-ong cold chill has passed, the weather looks so fine.

F-aith keeps my hope alive, 
L-etting me be steadfast; 
O-nly the trust in the Lord
R-eally makes the pain don't last.
E-ven when I face the test of life that is trial-fraught; 
S-till strong in faith I am, no matter what war I've fought.

A-live and burning hope
S-till keeps me faithful; 
U-ntil the dark shadows drift, 
N-o reason to be doubtful.
C-alling upon God's name
I-s one thing I won't forget; 
O-nce I pray to the Lord, 
N-ew hope is far from fret.
