You Are My Hope   

You give me hope, You give me strength, to carry on in this world, Your glory, is unfurled,

You give me joy, only You, can give me, peace, when the flood of daily trials,

seeks to sap me, and drop me to my knees, You, always, meet me in my greatest need.

 

You give me food, and drink, when the enemy, comes to devour,

You lift me from the dunghill, and set me so much higher, in this day, and in this hour,

You set me among princes, You set Your seal, upon my arm, and nothing, oh nothing, will bring me any harm,

Your the light, that shines on my path, You set direction for my days,  You are the North Star of my nights,

 

 

Oh, You are the buoy, of my life, that keeps me afloat, You surround me with angels, and promise me new life,

There is nothing behind me, that I desire, just a life, that is pleasing, and sets my spirit afire, new life, new hope,

new strength, in You, oh God, You've brought this all to me, and so much more, You are my Abba Father, I love,

and adore, and I just long, for everyone, to know You, for all that You have given, You are my reason for living,

and there's no purpose greater, than to glorify Your name, the God; Who is the same, yesterday and today.

 

The driving storms of life, can pull and tug us away, but You oh God, are the steady course, that anchors, me to stay,

 Your Word  can move mountains, Your Blood can wash away, all the filth, of this sin sick world, marvelous are Your ways,

 By Your stripes I am healed,  by Your hand, I am delivered, no enemy can prosper, when under Your wings, I am sheltered,   

 

 

 

Oh, You are the buoy, of my life, that keeps me afloat, You surround me with angels, and promise me new life,

There is nothing behind me that I desire, just a life, that is pleasing, and sets my spirit afire, new life, new hope,

new strength, in You, Oh God, You've brought this all to me, and so much more, You are my Abba Father, I love,

and adore, and I just long for everyone, to know You, for all that You have given, You are my reason for living,

and there's no purpose greater, than to glorify Your name, the God; Who is the same, yesterday and today.
