Incarnate God all knowing
Descended from on high
From a filthy manger
Creation heard Him cry

“Here I am Beloved
O cherished ones I’ve come
You won’t be abandoned
The curse will be undone”

The promise has been given
It has been received
Still accusation follows
The serpent's lie still stings

Though I fear and question
No condemnation falls
His canopy surrounds me
Takes captive every thought

My hope is in the Lord
For I know that Jesus lives
My hope is in the resurrection
For I know he’ll come again

My hope is the Lord
By his spirit that remains
My hope is in the coming kingdom
When He stands on earth again

The Darling of Heaven
Is ever by my side
In this wretched sinner
He has brought new life

Calling me Beloved
Never letting go
Death's chains have all been broken
Hell’s grip cannot take hold

My hope is in the Lord
For I know that Jesus lives
My hope is in the resurrection
For I know He’ll come again

My hope is the Lord
By his spirit that remains
My hope is in the coming kingdom
When He stands on earth again

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust this feeble frame
But wholly lean on Jesus name

My hope is in the Lord
For I know that Jesus lives
My hope is in the resurrection
For I know He’ll come again

My hope is the Lord
By his spirit that remains
My hope is in the coming kingdom
When He stands on earth again

My weakness is your canvass
And you paint with every stroke
The power of the gospel
On display for all to know
