A Hope That Burns
There is a hope that burns
Right through the strongest walls,
Freeing your heart and soul
To truly fly, beyond the sky.
There is a truth so deep
It helps you see the light
That floods the world right through,
In every place and every time;
You just need to reflect it,
And redirect it
To make the shadows flee
And help the blind to see
That you are loved, that you are treasured
By Him above, who gives without measure;
There’s nothing that He can’t do, He has good plans for you.
There is a love so pure
It shames the proud to bow;
It fills the poor with joy,
That they’re so much more than a toy.
He’s calling you home, there’s no need to roam;
He’s preparing a place for you under a sky so blue,
Lit by His glory, that’s the point of the story
He’s been telling through every life,
There you can truly thrive,
So come on home, there’s no need to roam;
He’s preparing a place for you under a sky so blue,
Lit by His glory, that’s the point of the story
He’s been telling through every life,
There you can truly thrive,
So come on home.
