Hope

(Chorus)

Yeah I can feel the hope inside of me always rising up in my chest/
But you can't have hope without coming from a pain
That you were once trying to ingest/
Peace comes with pain/
Pain comes with a passion/
And Passion with a pursuit/
Reverse all of that back live inside of that's exactly what we have to do/

There are many questions I have yet to ask/
Many answers I have left to find/
But I will not be ashamed of who I am/
Every single one of us all are one of a kind/
I know that as I close this chapter everything will be alright/
I decided that the deciding factor will not be the dark but be the light/

(Verse 1)

So many things I have left to say/
So many issues I have yet to solve/
I won't always rap but I'll always be thinking all the things I ever wrote in all my songs/
I know some of my sermons are far from perfect/
I'm the type that's learns as I'm working/
But honestly have you ever heard a falling man get up in the pulpit and preach a perfect sermon?/
You watched me work through struggle to find a cure and a believe in hope/
I just pray God I was used in a godly light/
Do not look to me but look to Christ/
It weird to make an album about something that I have never acquired/
But if I'm not mistaken were all striving to strive after what u consider a godly desire/

To be honest I have more pain writing this
Than i ever did when I say down and wrote lonely/
Cause at least when \I bled my heart into the mic in the end I didn't feel like a phony/
I spoke from the heart and I'm speaking from the heart now/
But I was talking from a place of the present tense/
And right now speaking from a place I have never been from the start it seems sometimes like ever since/
People sharing their struggles with me in private/
I've been trying to them to let God guide them/
And to do that it seems I have to become a hypocrite/
God show me the hope and how to live in it/
All I know is alotta people don't know there forgiven/
Were all trinna find out what is and isn't/
All I pray is one day God you reveal to me in prayer who you are and what is or isn't/

(Chorus)

Yeah I can feel the hope inside of me always rising up in my chest/
But you can't have hope without coming from a pain
That you were once trying to ingest/
Life comes with pain/
Pain comes with a passion/
And Passion with a pursuit/
Reverse all of that back live inside of that's exactly what we have to do/

There are many questions I have yet to ask/
Many answers I have left to find/
But I will not be ashamed of who I am/
Every single one of us all are one of a kind/
I know that as I close this chapter everything will be alright/
I decided that the deciding factor will not be the dark but be the light/

(Verse 2)

I thank God for everything he has done/
He has given me a hope that I now have/
Although I don't have all the answers/
All I know that one day I'll be given that/
In heaven not only is there no cancer/
But there's no need for questions to be asked/
Until then I'll try and live a godly standard/
And let God's word reveal the facts/
Yes I'm nomadic and I'm an astronaut/
On an exploration as I ask God/
God who are you and who am I/
Please let me learn from you until I die/
I am just a travel in the midst of your glory/
Forever learning as I'm exploring/
You brought me in when you could deport me/
Gave me the gospel so I could share your story/

Everything I see and everything I am/
Is seen through the lens of your plan/
All I know is one day I'll understand/
The more I seek your face the more I see your plan/
Who I am isn't based on me but it's in Christ/
I can only face what facing cause you gave me life/
Thanks be to God there's a hope today/
I'm praying that my thoughts always think that way/
All I'm saying is that God please give me grace/
To never ever stop running my race/
Guide me into your arms and burn away my hate/
The past can leave scars that bring alotta pain/
When I was dying into the darkness/
You died for me so I could join you in the light/
So why would I do anything different other than serve the God who saved my life?/


(Chorus)

Yeah I can feel the hope inside of me always rising up in my chest/
But you can't have hope without coming from a pain
That you were once trying to ingest/
Life comes with pain/
Pain comes with a passion/
And Passion with a pursuit/
Reverse all of that back live inside of that's exactly what we have to do/

There are many questions I have yet to ask/
Many answers I have left to find/
But I will not be ashamed of who I am/
Every single one of us all are one of a kind/
I know that as I close this chapter everything will be alright/
I decided that the deciding factor will not be the dark but be the light/
