"HOPE RISING"

-->
“HOPE RISING”

PAIN AND BETRAYAL...
CONFLICT AND UNCERTAINTY
FEAR AND DOUBT ON EVERY SIDE
WANDERING THROUGH LIFE...
HOPELESS AND ALONE
A VOICE CALLING OUT!!!
KNOWING THIS IS NOT HOW LIFE WAS MEANT TO BE
PLEADING FOR A PLACE TO DIE BUT IN EVERY STEP,
YOU HAVE BEEN WITH ME
YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE A HEART AS STONE

AS I FALL INTO YOUR ARMS...WE SOAR OVER MOUNTAIN PEAKS
WHAT ONCE SEEMED SO IMPOSSIBLE...
NOW LIFTS ME TO BELIEVE
LORD... I COME TO YOU...TO KNOW YOU MORE

YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN MY UNDERSTANDING
MORE THAN WHAT I COULD THINK YOU OUGHT TO BE
YOU ARE MORE THAN I COULD EVER KNOW IN MY DEMANDING
MORE THAN IMAGINATION COULD TRY TO SEE
MORE THAN ALL THE TIMES I’VE TRIED AND FAILED
MORE THAN I COULD EVER HOPE TO BE
STILL... IN YOUR GREATNESS I FIND LOVE AND MERCY
TO BE WHAT YOU’VE CALLED ME TO MORE THAN THIS WORLD EVER SAID I WOULD BE
AS I LOOK TO YOUR GLORY... I FIND I AM MORE IN YOU

AS MY THIRST IS QUENCHED... WE WALK THROUGH THE BARREN DESERT
WHAT ONCE WAS SO LONELY...
IS NOW A BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE JOURNEY
LORD... I AM HERE NOW TO KNOW YOU MORE

BEFORE I KNEW YOU... YOU KNEW ME
BEFORE I LOVED YOU... YOU LOVINGLY KEPT WATCH OVER ME
BEFORE THE PAIN OF SIN CAME TO CAPTURE MY HEART
YOU CAME FROM HEAVEN TO SET ME FREE
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I COULD SAY IF I COULD FIND THE WORDS
OH MY GOD!!!
MY HEART LONGS TO BE WITH YOU!
TO SEE YOUR FACE - AND IF ONLY FOR ONCE... TO DIE IN YOUR GAZE.
TO BE FILLED WITH OVERFLOWING... WITH THE KNOWING OF YOU
LORD OF MY LIFE... I - GIVE - MY - LIFE - TO - YOU!

AS I LOSE MYSELF IN YOU...WE ARE JOINED & I BECOME YOU, I TRULY AM
THE LIFE I ONCE TRIED TO ABANDON
I KNOW NOW AS A SOURCE OF JOY
LORD... I SEEK TO LIVE IN YOU MORE
