Hope
Andrew Ehrenzeller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were born in signs and wonders
Our fathers learned to live by faith
So we would never have to wander
Without a hope, without a home,
Without a resting place to call our own
The promise that You made
Is the promise still today
We are Your children of promise
Let Your kingdom come, let Your rivers flow
Far beyond what eyes can see
There's no place that they won't go
So we can live in undiscovered country
Around the bend, around Your throne,
You are the resting place we call our own
The promise that You made
Is the promise still today
Glory to God in the highest
We are Your children of promise
The lyrics of Andrew Ehrenzeller's song 'Hope' are inspired by the story of the Israelites journeying through the wilderness while being led by a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day, and how they learned to live by faith. Ehrenzeller uses this story to encourage believers to trust in God's promises even in uncertain times. The song speaks of how we, like the Israelites, are also children of promise and how God's promise made to our fathers surpasses time and still applies to us today.
The chorus of the song emphasizes God's promise and the hope that comes with it. The lyrics "Glory to God in the highest, we are Your children of promise" signify that God is worthy of praise for fulfilling His promises to His people. The bridge of the song "Around the bend, around Your throne, You are the resting place we call our own" highlights the ultimate destination and resting place for believers, heaven. The song encourages listeners to continue to trust in God's promises and the hope that it brings for the future.
