I have a Hope

I have a hope and I have a promise

I have a hope and a promise in you

I have a hope, a covenant promise

I have no doubt that the promise holds true for me and for you

Once I was a stranger and alien

Far off, separated from peace

Without hope, without God as my friend

Trying to work my way out of my disease

But now I've been brought into Gods household

Into the covenant blessings of grace

Your mercy took a heart that was dead and cold

And put a heart of hope in its place!

I have a hope and I have a promise

I have a hope and a promise in you

I have a hope, a covenant promise

I have no doubt that the promise holds true for me and for you

Bridge

Now I'm no longer a child of wrath

You placed me on another path

Where I was lost there in my grave

Now by grace I have been saved

Now I can walk in the works you have readied

That you prepared for me before I was born

Alive in Jesus, on this rock I am steadied

'Cause that old veil of separation's been torn.

This is the truth that I am confessing

In Jesus, all the promises are fulfilled

I am the heir of covenant blessings

Part of the temple God continues to build

I have a hope and I have a promise

I have a hope and a promise in you

I have a hope, a covenant promise

I have no doubt that the promise holds true for me and for you
