Hope and Glory
Tim Hughes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear our cry, oh King of heaven
Jesus hope to every heart
We are lost without Your glory
We are lost without You God

Be the fire, that burns within us
Flames of love that purify
Send Your power and Your salvation,
Let us see Your Kingdom come

Only You can move the mountain
Only You can heal our land
Christ alone, our hope and glory
Christ alone in You we stand

Turn Your eyes and show us mercy
How we need Your Father's love
Lead us home, and out of darkness,
With Your gospel, burning bright

We believe our God is mighty
We believe our God is here
We believe our King is coming
Christ alone in You we stand

Praise the Lord, our God is mighty
Praise the Lord, our God is here
Praise the Lord, our King is coming
Christ alone in You we stand

Lord the people in Hong Kong are hurting and hopeless as we see all the injustice and police brutality happen, as we watch our rights and freedom being stripped away. I pray that you would pour down your spirit and reveal Yourself to us, so we know that even in the midst of utter darkness, You are the light and hope. Because only YOU can heal our land.
