Hope
The hope that is within us
Erupting from the sand
It's clear and pure refreshment
In dry and barren land
No scorching circumstances
Can stop that eager flow
Of hope that springs eternal
This joy that floods my soul

O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My wellspring in the sand
O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My strong and saving Hand
O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My anchor tether rope
The voice that stills all rages
My shouting whispering hope

You cannot make it happen
Like faith, it is a gift
The currents of dеpression
The power of hopе will lift
Just when you least expect it
A rescue raft comes by
And ties your weary spirit
To wings so you can fly
O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My wellspring in the sand
O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My strong and saving hand
O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My anchor tether rope
The voice that stills all rages
My shouting whispering hope

It's a hope that sometimes whispers
A hope that sometimes shouts
Sometimes hope's mighty gale
Will part the sea of doubts
Hope calms the raging fevers
Commands the storms of pain
Hope turns life's threatening tempests
To gentle soothing rain

O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My wellspring in the sand
O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My strong and saving hand
O Jesus, blessed Jesus
My anchor tether rope
The voice that stills all rages
My shouting whispering hope
The voice that stills all rages
My shouting whispering hope
Whispering hope
