Keep On Hoping
Riley Clemmons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like it's far too much to carry around
And each and every little time that you fall
Starts looking like the end of it all
Somewhere hidden in the noise there's a truth
Someone to believe and hang onto
In each and every little word that you hearI pray that one thing would be so clear
With all those voices in your head
Just don't, don't ever forget
That God's still good
And He's still got it all in control
Come on and keep on hoping when the days get dark
Keep on singing, don't you ever lose heart
Lift your eyes, the One who gave you life
Will give you strength to keep on going
So keep on hoping
(Keep on hoping)
What if the miracle's a moment away?
What if the morning's just about to break?
And all the innocence you thought that you lost
Was there inside of you all along
Come on and keep on hoping when the days get dark
Keep on singing, don't you ever lose heart
Lift your eyes, the One who gave you life
Will give you strength to keep on going
So keep on hoping
(Keep on hoping)
Come on and keep on hoping(Keep on hoping)
You gotta keep on hoping
(Keep on hoping)
There's hope for a better tomorrow
There's hope for joy over sorrow
'Cause God's still good
And He's still got it all in control
There's hope for a world that can change
There's hope for love over hate
'Cause God's still good
And He's still got it all in control
Come on and keep on hoping when the days get dark
Keep on singing, don't you ever lose heart
Lift your eyes, the One who gave you life
Will give you strength to keep on going
So keep on hoping
(Keep on hoping)
Come on and keep on hoping
(Keep on hoping)
And know that still
His promise will
Never be broken
Come on and keep on hoping like a soul set free
In every moment, every breath you breathe
Lift your eyes you're gonna be alright
You've got the strength to keep on going
So keep on hoping
(Keep on hoping)
Come on and keep on
(Keep on hoping)
Keep on hoping
(Keep on hoping)

The weight of the world is getting heavier now
The burdens and challenges I face in life are becoming increasingly overwhelming
Feels like it's far too much to carry around
It seems impossible to handle all these difficulties on my own
And each and every little time that you fall
Every time I experience failure or setback
Starts looking like the end of it all
It feels as if everything is coming to a hopeless conclusion
Somewhere hidden in the noise there's a truth
Amidst all the chaos and confusion, there is a truth waiting to be discovered
Someone to believe and hang onto
There is someone I can have faith in and rely on
In each and every little word that you hear
Every word you hear holds the potential for something meaningful and reassuring
I pray that one thing would be so clear
I hope that a particular message or truth becomes evident to you
With all those voices in your head
Despite the multitude of thoughts and opinions swirling in your mind
Just don't, don't ever forget

This is true, Amen!!
"At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said,
“Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me."
Matthew 18:1-5 NKJV

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
