Liturgical Folk & Jon Guerra - Hope (feat. Tenielle Neda) Lyrics

In you, Lord, is our hope, and we shall never hope in vain
For hope, along with faith and love, forever will remain
She honestly accounts for all our suffering and pain
And, though she still allows and even wants us to complain
She chooses not to let despair invade the heart and reign
Now, hope in you is different, Lord, than wishing for the best
For wishing seeks to serve the self and put you to the test
Had Jesus jumped when Satan said you'd save at his behest
He could have only wished for angel-wings to manifest
But, since his hope was in you, Lord, you strengthened his protest
We hope
We hope
In you
Oh, Lord
We hope
So, when we say "we hope in you," Lord, may it truly be
For far too often what we mean is "do what's best for me"
We think that if you grant us wishes, life will be more free
Forgetting that your ways are way beyond what we can see
And only hope in you will lead the soul to victory
We hope
We hope
In you
Oh, Lord
We hope
We hope
In you
Oh, Lord
We hope
We hope
In you
Oh, Lord
We hope
In you
