Hope’s Desire
Adrift upon the sea, amidst a winter's breeze
I want to grasp the chords within your hands
Across the vast terrain I see the face of pain
I want to place the blame on the wind
And taunt the sweeping plain of the din
But I look within and I see the face
Of hope's desire, our desire
For all, all the weary souls
Who fought for freedom
Oh lead them, lead us all
Living on the edge, forgiving as He said
Believing there's a better world to come
The darkness hides the day
It's hard to see the way
Oh listen as I pray to You again
The view around about is looking grim

But I look within and I see the face
Of hope's desire, our desire
For all, all the weary souls
Who fought for freedom
Oh lead them
At every turn upon the road of life open my eyes
To see where You live
And in the broken bodies of forgotten pilgrims
And forsaken limbs
To see where you live.......
I look for Him and I see the face
Of hope's desire, our desire
For all, all the weary souls
Who fought for freedom
Oh lead them, lead us all
