WE CAN NEVER HOPE TO MUCH
THAT GOD'S HAND OUR LIVES WILL TOUCH.
JOINED TO FAITH AND LOVE AND SUCH
HOPE IS MORE THAN JUST A CRUTCH.

IT'S THE GROUND ON WHICH WE STAND
BY IT WE DESPAIR WITHSTAND.
HOPE MAKES THE FUTURE SO GRAND
FOR WE KNOW IT'S IN GOD'S HAND.

CHORUS
HELP ME EVERYDAY TO HOPE
TO LOOK UP AND NOT TO MOPE.
SEEING WITH A BROADER SCOPE
KNOWING IN CHRIST I CAN COPE.

II
THANK YOU GOD FOR HOPE IN CHRIST
SUCH A GIFT CANNOT BE PRICED.
BY IT ALL OF LIFE IS SPICED
FOR IT, CHRIST WAS SACRIFICED.

LOVE ONLY IS GREATER THAN
THIS TREASURE GOD GAVE TO MAN.
EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN
HOPE IS BASIC TO GOD'S PLAN.

CHORUS

III
HOPE WILL NEVER LET US DOWN
EVEN WHEN ON SHAKING GROUND.
HOPE WILL MAKE OUR FAITH ABOUND
IN IT ALL OUR JOY IS FOUND.

IN GREAT HOPE WE CAN ABIDE
KNOWING CHRIST WILL EVER GUIDE.
NOTHING WILL HIS LOVE DIVIDE
FOR ALL IN HIS CHOSEN BRIDE.

CHORUS
