Hope
Emily Brimlow Lyrics

So I lift my hands to the God that guides me
I raise my hands in worship and gratitude to the God who leads me

To the one that finds me
To the God who seeks me out and finds me in any circumstance

Even in my darkest days he walks beside me
Even in my bleakest moments, God is right beside me, walking with me

Singing songs of freedom
God sings songs of liberation over me

Always singing songs of life
God sings songs of revitalization and hope over me

And they're leading me out of the darkness
These songs lead me out of the shadows and despair

And they're bringing me into the light
These songs guide me towards enlightenment and illumination

Hey, He never said it would be easy
God never promised an effortless journey

You know, He never said we would be safe
God never guaranteed a life without risks or danger

My hope, my hope, my hope, hope
My sense of confidence and optimism that all will be well

Long are the people on the streets
Many people spend long hours working or roaming the streets

Hustling all day to go home and feed their families
Striving tirelessly every day to provide for their loved ones

Just trying to make ends meat
Trying to earn just enough to get by

They're grinding but they're finding that they're
Despite their efforts, they realize that they're

Still facing defeat
Still experiencing setbacks and disappointments

Long are the people who don't feel equal
Many people feel as though they aren't valued or worthy

Working hard to pay the wages
Toiling diligently to earn income

And just playing in casino's
And resorting to taking chances at gambling establishments

Long are the ones on the run hun
Some are fleeing or evading something or someone

I hope they find the love that they are looking for
I pray they discover the affection they long for

And the purpose they've been running from
And the reason they've been avoiding what truly matters

He never said the path we're walking on
God never declared that the path we traverse wouldn't

Wouldn't have hurt us to face
be fraught with pain and challenges

But the Lord did promise me freedom
Yet, God assured me of freedom

Oh the Lord did promise me strength
Furthermore, God vowed to give me strength

He said we soar on wings of eagles
God proclaimed that we will soar like eagles

And not grow weary or faint
And we won't become exhausted or discouraged

There is hope in every situation
In every circumstance, there is hope

All this pain I'm facing
Despite the agony I encounter

For every dream I'm chasing there's hope
There is promising anticipation for every aspiration I pursue

For every generation there's hope
Every era has the potential for hope and optimism

You are my hope, my hope, my world
You are my foundation of optimism and the reason for my existence

My joy, you're my hope, you're my world
You bring me happiness and serve as my inspiration and motivation

You're my one
You embody everything that I desire and need
