God of Hope

I wrote these song lyrics back in February when I felt so close to God I could almost touch Him. Feelings change but “your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens” (Psalm 119:89). I pray these truths about the God of Hope may bless you – and this is my prayer for you, and for me:

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, 
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

(Romans 15:13).

GOD OF HOPE

We know that our Redeemer lives,

Our hearts yearn within us,

We long to see Him face to face!

We hope in His unfailing love,

We’re trusting in His holy Name,

Our souls find rest in Him alone.

We used to be without hope,

But now His blood has saved us!

Chorus:

So let us fix our eyes on Jesus,

the Author, Perfecter of our faith,

exalted in the heavens!

Not growing weary,

we’re running towards Him,

the goal of our faith –

the God of Hope!

We died with Christ, we’ll live with Him,

We have been set free from sin,

Our consciences have been cleansed;

So let’s forget what is behind

And strain towards what is ahead,

We press towards our heavenly goal.

Endurance inspired by hope –

The hope of the glory of God!

Chorus

We’re waiting for our blessed hope,

For Jesus Christ to come again,

To bring salvation to His bride;

The trumpets will resound and then

We’ll finally see Him face to face,

Falling down upon our knees

Singing before the King,

Worshipping before the Lamb!

Chorus
