hope

i haven't stopped listening to addison road's cd since i got it! the music is catchy and the lyrics solid. hope now is one of my favorite songs on the album and i've been meaning to post it's lyrics for a few days now.

in addition to listening to their music, i've been reading a blog written by their lead singer, jenny. yesterday she had an amazing post about a family who has been touched by this song. their story is one of incredible faith and hope. it is also such a great reminder of the sovereignty of Christ and how all things work for the good of those He calls...

Hope Now
~Addison Road

If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours

(PRE-CHORUS)
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm

(PRE-CHORUS)
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

(CHORUS 2)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

You've become my hearts desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
