John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Please don't give up hope

Please don't give up hope


Vs 1
With dark days upon us,
seems there's no way out
Oppression may blind us,
to the light all around

Vs2
When daylight comes calling,
you ignore the call
You don't feel like standing,
In case you may fall


Chorus
Please don't give up hope in our God,
please don't give up hope
The Almighty will help you to cope
He'll help us to cope
Please don't give up hope in our God,
please don't give up hope
The Almighty will comfort you,
He'll comfort us too


Vs3
No matter what ails you,
He knows what you need
Your best friend will be there,
in word and in deed

Vs4
And if you have suffered,
the loss of loved ones
Your heart may be breaking,
maybe you feel numb


Chorus
Please don't give up hope in our God,
please don't give up hope
The Almighty will help you to cope
He'll help us to cope
Please don't give up hope in our God,
please don't give up hope
The Almighty will comfort you,
He'll comfort us too

Vs 5
It's time to go searching,
for comfort from God
His words will release you,
inspire in you awe

Chorus
Please don't give up hope in our God,
please don't give up hope
The Almighty will help you to cope
He'll help us to cope
Please don't give up hope in our God,
please don't give up hope
The Almighty will comfort you,
He'll comfort us too
