Lyrics
Where Hope Resides
Chorus:
Hes not a shadow hiding in the sky,
Nor a whisper lost in winds that pass.
He is the King who rules over all,
A Father who sees, who draws us near.
He showed His love through His only Son
The Lamb, the Light, the Risen One.
So lift your head, oh heart so torn;
Theres healing still its why He was born.
Verse 1:
There is a place on the mountaintop where hope resides.
Those who dared it, paid the price.
The road was rough, the night was long, and the sky gave no sign
Yet a few pressed on.
Some came from corners where dreams are thin,
Where life feels heavy and worn from within.
But up that hill, they met a name
And walked back down, no more the same. *Chorus*
Verse 2:
You see, the streets dont smile no more,
People walk like theyve been through war.
No justice herejust tales we trade,
Of silent cries and hopes that fade.
But theres a whisper in the wind today,
A voice that calls the lost, the frayed:
You who carry burdens deep,
Come to MeI Am that I AmIll give you peace. *Chorus*
Bridge:
Some say, Where is God in the pain I see?
But He was nailed to a tree for you, for me.
Not just a tale from books, or stones, or scrolls,
But the One who still mends shattered souls. (2x)
