He's awakening the hope in meBy calling forth my destinyHe's breathing lifeInto my soulI will thirst forHim and Him alone
He has come like the rainThat showers on the barren plainSo my heart and tongue confessJesus, Christ the Hope of man
My hope is in you, GodI am steadfastI will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shakenAll my hope is in You
He's awakening the hope in meBy calling forth my destinyHe's breathing lifeInto my soulI will thirst forHim and Him alone
He has come like the rainThat showers on the barren plainSo my heart and tongue confessJesus, Christ the Hope of man
My hope is in you, GodI am steadfastI will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shakenAll my hope is in You
My hope is in you, GodI am steadfastI will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shakenAll my hope is in You
He's bringing hope to the hopelessAnd giving his heart to the brokenHe's bringing hope to the hopelessAnd giving his heart to the broken
He is the hope of the nationsThe father's heart we're embracing
He is the song we're declaringHe is the joy, He is my joy
He's bringing hope to the hopelessAnd giving his heart to the broken
He is the hope of the nationsThe father's heart we're embracing
He is the song we're declaringHe is the joy, He is my joy
Let hope ariseLet hope ariseLet hope ariseLet hope ariseLet hope ariseLet hope arise
My hope is in you, GodI am steadfastI will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shakenAll my hope is in You
My hope is in you, GodI am steadfastI will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shakenAll my hope is in You

Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee by Maverick City Music

MaverickCityMusic

 

1 Joyful, joyful, we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before You,
Op'ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

2 All Your works with joy surround You,
Earth and heav'n reflect Your rays,
Stars and angels sing around You,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!

3 Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.

4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.
