(one of the first songs I wrote – just the lyrics here)
Hope is what I’ve always longed for
Hope that is complete
To know that I am not alone
A wanderer in need – something more…
Love that’s so amazing that he
cradles suns and moons
And at the same time he is reaching
down from heaven’s room reminding me that
I know one who knows me
And I can see him clearly
In rain that tumbles down
And sunsets on the sea
In autumn reds and browns
He’s the hope in me
There are no questions without answers
Just some beyond my reach
Worlds of wisdom cannot fathom
The simple mystery – about the one
Love that’s so amazing that
He knows my deepest need
He is my peace, my joy, my rescue
And still he is the king
I know one who knows me
And I can see him clearly
It’s blazed upon the stars
It’s burning in my heart
He’s never very far – away
He’s the hope in me
Hope is what I’ve always longed for
Hope that is complete.
