HOPE LIVES
In this new day
Of mercy and grace
Light shines
In this new day
Of peace and hope
Light shines
On this new day
Of life and joy
Light shines
On this new dayThe love of God shinesLet us determine to enjoy it
In the face of mercy and grace
This hard heart continually breaks
Broken before the Creator of all
Hope lives
In the holy place of absolute strength
This human heart refuses to beat
Lying facedown before the Cross
Hope lives
In this glory of God's promised love
This fearful heart finds new courage
Kneeling before the Lord of life
Hope lives
In the assurance of God's perfection
This rebellious heart falls apart
Confessing sin in light of forgiveness
Hope lives

Praise to God for a Living Hope
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living
hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through
faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the
salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In
all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while
you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of
your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes
even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory
and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you
have not seen him, you love him; and even though you
do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled
with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are
receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Through the darkness
I lift up my hands
Empty
Stretching
I reach to touch Your smile
