Hoping

about

The wonder of the Great Barrier Reef has prompted several family trips along the Queensland coast in recent years. The news of it's health has been troubling. This song references the hope mentioned in Romans 4:18, that speaks not of worldly probability but an assured confidence, earthed by divine promise.
Revelation 3:2-"Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God."

lyrics

Hoping - words & music by Luke Vassella

Looks like we're holding on by the skin of our teeth
How strange to be living in the dying days of the (Great) Barrier reef
Where is the hope to be found as this world comes apart
Is there anything hidden that won't be revealed in each and every heart

I'm hoping
I'm praying
I'm trusting

I am hoping beyond all hope
Hoping against all hope
I'm ready and waiting
Trusting
Praying
I'm wide awake to strengthen what remains

What remains?

Looks like we're being cast down from the highest heights
Like the leaves on the forest ferns we're reaching for the light
People got to lend a hand, people got to give a damn
We're all going to have to serve somebody

Hoping
Praying
Trusting

I am hoping beyond all hope
Hoping against all hope
For the things I cannot see
For what is, and what is yet to be
I'm wide awake to strengthen what remains

What remains?

Hoping beyond all hope, hoping against all hope

For the healing of our nation
For the vital work of regeneration
We have not loved our Neighbour
We have not loved our Mother
Sister or our Brother
We love ourselves; and yet we don't even love ourselves...
We love our comforts
We love our ideology
We love our world view
But if all these things should pass away
I'm still hoping
Hoping
Beyond all hope
Against all hope

Hoping
Praying
Trusting
Hoping
