Well, we made it through October. Now on through November my friends. This is my favorite month. The seasons are changing again.
Just as life doesn’t live on repeat day after day after day, we don’t have to feel lost day after day after day. This song reassures us that we are not hopeless nor are we helpless.
Music is important to me. This song pretty much describes the thoughts and doubts and fears and feelings all wrapped up in us – but brings our struggle to the place of peace – safe in the hands of our Father God.
Enjoy.

Lyrics for “I Have This Hope”
I Have This Hope
As I walk this great unknown
Questions come and questions go
Was there purpose for the pain?
Did I cry these tears in vain?
Questions come and questions go
Was there purpose for the pain?
Did I cry these tears in vain?
I don’t want to live in fear
I want to trust that You are near
Trust Your grace can be seen
In both triumph and tragedy
I want to trust that You are near
Trust Your grace can be seen
In both triumph and tragedy
I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and You won’t let go
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and You won’t let go
But sometimes my faith feels thin
Like the night will never end
Will You catch every tear
Or will You just leave me here?
Like the night will never end
Will You catch every tear
Or will You just leave me here?
But I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and You won’t let go
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and You won’t let go
So, whatever happens I will not be afraid
Cause You are closer than this breath that I take
You calm the storm when I hear You call my name
I still believe that one day I’ll see Your face
Cause You are closer than this breath that I take
You calm the storm when I hear You call my name
I still believe that one day I’ll see Your face
And I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me
I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and You won’t let go
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me
I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and You won’t let go
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and You won’t let go
You’re with me and You won’t let go

“Lord, to know that You are with us and You won’t let go – that is so powerful – so as we move into another month, we praise You. You calm our storms. You give us great reason to celebrate – life as Your child – being loved like we have never been loved before and knowing we will be with You forever one day soon. Thank You, Lord. Amen.”
Great song lyrics.
