While The Hoppers have enjoyed tremendous success through three decades, the `90s ushered in new found accomplishments. Although this talented musical family has enjoyed many popular hit releases, their first Number One release came in 1990 with the song entitled Here I Am. It stayed at the top of the charts for 4 months and was awarded song of the year for 1990. Since that time five Hopper releases have peaked at Number One. Milk & Honey, Mention My Name, Anchor to the power of the Cross, Yes I Am and their most recent release, "Jerusalem". Heavenly Sunrise and the powerful song That's Him reached Number Two.
In addition to enormous radio success. The Hoppers have enjoyed other national recognition. In 1981, The Hoppers represented Southern Gospel Music at the Religious Inaugural Celebration for President Ronald Reagan. Shortly thereafter they appeared at the National Rally to restore prayer in the public school system. The Hoppers were also a part of the original Singing At Sea Cruise, which first sailed in 1974. The group has been a part of that every year since. On June 27 1998 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta,GA. They performed a song for Bill Gaithers video entitled "Shouting Time". That would forever change their life and their Ministry. They have toured with the Gaither Homecoming show that played to over 900,000 people per year in most major sports arenas around the country. They have also enjoyed much success as a result of many group and individual awards and accolades.

Hoppers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't really get over anything
You just kind of get used to it
You know, every day
Do you ever get a feeling?
That you'll end up all alone
Like where the fuck's my home
Do you ever get this yearning?
Your heart keeps turning like where did I go wrong?
I've had a pretty long day
Got way too much to say
Except I'm trying to finding a way to keep grinding
What the fuck even is a two week notice?
I don't understand why I have to do more paperwork if I want to leave
I can't just get up and quit?
(Like it's not that)
I've lost all motivation but it's not like it was there at the start
So I'll write this song for a girl who broke my heart
Wore my love on my sleeve
How could I ever believe things would change?
My lucks always been bad
Have I always been sad, who knows?
And it just goes to show
'Cause I wrote this song for a girl who broke my heart
I wrote this song for a girl who broke my
Do you ever get a feeling?
That you've done this all along
Doing fine without her gone
I tend to get a bit of yearning
But I'm still learning about what makes me sing this song
For a girl who's just a hazy shade of blonde
She's long gone and I'm still moving on, done feeling wrong
Took ten days to write this two-minute song

See that's the thing
It's often the case
You don't really get over anything
It's not possible to completely forget a past experience
You just kind of get used to it
One can adapt and get accustomed to living with a memory
You know, every day
As time passes
Do you ever get a feeling?
Have you ever experienced a sensation?
That you'll end up all alone
That you might not find a partner in life
Like where the fuck's my home
Like you don't belong anywhere
Do you ever get this yearning?
Do you sometimes have a longing?
Your heart keeps turning like where did I go wrong?
You keep wondering what mistake you made
I've had a pretty long day
I've experienced a tiring and difficult day
Got way too much to say
I have a lot on my mind that I want to express
Except I'm trying to finding a way to keep grinding
But I'm struggling to keep pushing forward
What the fuck even is a two week notice?
Why is it necessary to provide a notice of leaving a job?
I don't understand why I have to do more paperwork if I want to leave
I don't comprehend why there are more bureaucratic steps needed
I can't just get up and quit?
Is it not possible to simply resign on the spot?
(Like it's not that)
(As if it's so complicated)
I've lost all motivation but it's not like it was there at the start
I'm feeling unmotivated now, but I didn't have much drive to begin with
So I'll write this song for a girl who broke my heart
Therefore, I'll compose this melody about the girl who hurt me
Wore my love on my sleeve
I was openly displaying my affection
How could I ever believe things would change?
How was I even able to think things would get better?
My lucks always been bad
Bad fortune has accompanied me for a long time
Have I always been sad, who knows?
It's uncertain if I've always been unhappy
And it just goes to show
This is a clear indication
'Cause I wrote this song for a girl who broke my heart
That this piece of music is dedicated to the one who caused me emotional pain
I wrote this song for a girl who broke my
I wrote this song for a girl who shattered my heart
Do you ever get a feeling?
Have you ever experienced a sensation?
That you've done this all along
That you've been following the same path for a while now
Doing fine without her gone
Managing well without her absence affecting you much
I tend to get a bit of yearning
I usually experience some pangs of longing
But I'm still learning about what makes me sing this song
However, I'm still discovering what led me to compose this tune
For a girl who's just a hazy shade of blonde
For a girl who's now just a vague memory
She's long gone and I'm still moving on, done feeling wrong
She's far away and I'm progressing, done with feeling bad
Took ten days to write this two-minute song
It took a while to create this short piece of music

The hope that is within us, erupting from the sand
It's clear and pure refreshment in dry and barren land
No scotching circumstances can stop that eager flow, of hope that springs eternal
It's 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 currency of depression, the power of hope will lift
Just when you least expect it, a rescue raft comes by
and ties your weary spirit to wings so you can fly
It's a hope that sometimes whispers, a hope that sometimes shouts!
And sometimes hope's mighty gale will part the sea of doubt
Or calms the raging fevers, commands the storms of pain
Hope turns the life's threatening tempest to gentle soothing rain
