Hook
Nothing I laid up for me
That ain't what I see no more

That ain't where I put my hope
I believe I've been made free
Mercy carried me O Lord

That's where I put my hope

Verse 1:

You holdin spare parts from them broken dreams
A battle, it unravels at them open seams
Comin apart, it didn't take nothing to start

it was ready already in your heart

Now it's a cold world need gloves

Just to cover up your hands when you see blood
Yeah you did it, you went and got your feet mud
Why don't you quit it, repent and take this free love?


Now I aint talking about a wish
I'm talking about an expectation of what exists

We call it hope -- I put my trust in what He wrote
It's just as real to me boy as anything you smoke


I've got the breath of life filling up my lungs
Songs of praises stay rolling off my tongue
I'm seeing vanity -- under the sun

You're under the gun, now how long are you gonna run?
From this hope


:: HOOK

We're saved by hope, but hope that you can see - that's not hope

Who hopes for something he already has?
Some of my people are putting their hope in that petty cash
Thinking they can buy the future God already has


Hustling backwards -- actresses, actors
Doin the work of the enemy your master

Darkness has a grip upon your soul
It's a one way ticket to fire that you hold


I know some of you think I'm rude to you
When will you learn only love will tell the truth to you?
What good would I be if all I did was stray with you?

Id rather take you by the hand man and pray with you

And then believe Gods word

Yeah He said He'd never leave I heard
Said He kept His eye on me like birds
Died for me and rose up in three like third

I owe Him my life

:: HOOK


Hope changes you
putting your hope in the hope of the world

that completes you
see you were made for that hope
you were created to anticipate

to expect to be used
for the glory of the Creator of the universe
to look forward to the Blessed Hope

the Savior of the world - Jesus Christ
Hope
