Words by Rosemary Gain
Music by Donna Wade
Hope and despair – Both were there
Forever
calling – Calling out to me
Hope says that things
will soon be better
Despair says – they never will
be
How I long for peace and joy again
to fill
my aching heart – whoah whoah
I need an answer – to all my questions
But each day drove my hope further
apart
My heart says – to listen to hope
to
force the darkness
Force it to retreat
Despair tried to choke
any prospects of happiness
Make me bow down
Bow
down in defeat
But in the blessed
Quiet of night
God whispered softly
In my ear
I am with you
Always my
child
You have – No need to fear
Now I felt hope – well up inside of me
Despair
suddenly left
And hope took it's place
I knew that I found – Peace once again
When I felt
The blessing
of God's Grace
Lord you played your tune on my heart strings
I'll
sing your praises – all my life thru
No longer alone – and full of darkness
Now I'm in the Light
and
full of you
Now I'm in the Light
and full of you
Lord I'm in the Light
and full of you
