Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lies not in deeds that I have done
But in the saving power of grace
That comes by faith in God's own Son
My hope is Jesus' perfect life
His righteousness applied to me
My hope is His atoning death
His sacrifice on Calvary
His resurrection is my life
My ev'ry hope is anchored to
The saving love of Christ
My name is written in His scroll
My heart is cleansed with His own blood
His Spirit lives within my soul
My hope is anchored in His love
My hope is Jesus' perfect life
His righteousness applied to me
My hope is His atoning death
His sacrifice on Calvary
My hope is in His empty tomb
His resurrection is my life
My ev'ry hope is anchored to
The saving love of Christ
And when my time on earth is done

With holy confidence I'll run

my friends, the lyrics:
Its all started when he was kid
Money, power (were) it’s all he needs
Be the first by a way or another
ìf there is damages he didn’t matter
When he grows up he became mad
He forgets the good and keeps the bad
He didn’t care about the right and wrong
The energy story
The energy story
He was alone when he get the first price
and his eyes was full of a black ice
For the future he got a special project
to succeed he wouldn’t need any prophet
He will win by his hand and his brain
For him all in life is just a game
He quickly became a kind of dark lord
Who’s the goal was to win the world
Who’s the goal was to win the world
Who’s the goal was to win the world
Who’s the goal was to win the world
The energy story
Such haunting vocals: I prayed for the day i'd find these lyrics too. In 2018 I contacted the writer and singer on fb and they were gracious enough to recall them for me. Written by French dudes in english using google translate after watching star wars, the lyrics describe none other than Darth Vader
