Give Me Hope

When I heard you speak, I listened

When I felt your presence, I was restored

But it’s been so long and I’m so tired

Like Hannah I’ve pleaded for breakthrough

Like Sarah I laughed when you said to hold on

It’s been so hard and I’m so tired

When I thought you thought you had forgotten my name

When I thought I had believed it all in vain

You’ve held me in the darkness, saved up all my tears

When crushed with disappointment, you understood my fears

You’re not angry when I’m weak

You come near when me when I’m hurt

When I feel a failure, you lift me up

And you give me hope

You’ve watered my soul in season

As the warmth of the sun blossomed new life

But it’s still so hard, and I’m so tired

You’ve held me in the darkness, saved up all my tears

When crushed with disappointment, you’ve understood my fears

You’re not angry when I’m weak

You come near when me when I’m hurt

When I feel a failure, you lift me up

And you give me hope

You give me hope
