Verse 1:
If I had a single song to tell the world one thing
If I had just one note to sing to tell a secret to be shared

If I played it on the hilltops of this darkened land
And I placed a vital key in each hand so you could open up the door


Chorus:
I'd sing out Jesus, I'd sing the name of Jesus
For I know he is the way and I'm not afraid to say

He's the hope for all the earth

Verse 2:

If I had a single hour to write a story book
If I had the chapters and I could, tell a tale that you'd believe
Then I'd write it in a way that every eye could read

And all the words would not be flat, but deep, and front to back I'd spell a name

Chorus 2:

I'd write down Jesus, I'd spell the name of Jesus For I know he is the way and I'm not afraid to say He's the hope for all the earth

Verse 3:

If I had a single brushstroke to change the sky
If I had a way to show you why, I would paint it crimson red
If I could hold the ocean and it's roaring waves,

To show the power of the love we crave, the mercy lapping on the shore

Chorus 3:

I'd show Jesus, I'd show you all of Jesus
For I know he is the way and I'm not afraid to say He's the hope for all the earth


He's your lifelight, He's your lifelight
He's shining brighter than the darkness
His light is leading you home


Verse 4:
If you can see the numbers that I've begun,

If you can add up this sum and see the answer black and white Then you'd sing and find a freedom that lies deep within,
Just let go and jump right in, the river only leads to life
