Nu Hope
JaeL Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Intro
You know you make my soul jump
Hands up, spirit up
You make my soul jump
Soul jump

Verse 1
Day by day I concentrate

Not to do things my own way
And I try, I try not to lose my way

Everywhere I go I see
Darkness is calling me
And my God, my God
He looks out for me

Chorus
That's when I let my soul jump
Into my life
I lift my hands up
Everytime
You catch my spirit up
Into freedom
You make my soul jump
Soul jump

Verse 2
Times of trouble, times of hurt
The second thoughts inside my head's
When I need Him here with me

The tears upon my cheek have dried

I close my eyes and push aside
My pain and gaze into the sky
