Song Lyrics

---

Hold to the Hope

Chorus
She holds to the hope when she thinks she can’t cope,
She holds to the Hope of her Saviour.
She holds to the Hope when life overwhelms,
She holds to the Hope of forever.

Verse 1
Single mother of three with no food to feed
With only a soup kitchen to meet the need
Welfare pays the rent but the rest is all spent
Not a dollar, nor a dime, not even a cent.

Verse 2
She dreams of the time when her closet was full
Draped in silks and furs and the finest of wool
Then one night the love of her life was gone
Everything else just seemed to tag along.

Verse 3
All treasures on earth were no longer her own
She realized things are just on loan
Except for the promise which she holds on tight
Her faith is in Jesus, her true life light.

Chorus
She holds to the hope when she thinks she can’t cope,
She holds to the Hope of her Saviour.
She holds to the Hope when life overwhelms,
She holds to the Hope of forever.

(Similar tune but more “cold”, minor key, and much slower)
Verse 4
You remember a time when God was dear
Between then and now there’s been many a year
Life’s become shallow, sin and greed wrapped so tight
Darkness has engulfed any shimmer of light.

Verse 5
No longer are you satisfied just to put yourself first
No earthly treasure quenches life’s thirst
You desperately cry out and go on a knee
And remember the song, yes Jesus loves me.

(back to original key, start chorus softly, slowly, building, and then repeat chorus with a purpose)
Chorus
Hold to the Hope, when you think you can’t cope,
Hold to the Hope of the Saviour.
Hold to the Hope when life overwhelms,
Hold to the Hope of forever.
