Only hope


I recently found Only Hope and really wanted to share it here.  Not only does it have a great message, but Steven Sharp Nelson (of The Piano Guys) and his daughter are included in the video performance!  *wink, wink*  

There's a song inside of my soul--
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again.
I'm awake in the infinite cold,
But you sing to me over and over and over again.

So I lay my head back down,
And I lift my hands 
And pray to be only Yours--
I pray to be only Yours:
I know You're my only hope.


Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
And laughing again.
When it feels that my dreams are so far,
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down,
And I lift my hands 
And pray to be only Yours--
I pray to be only Yours:
I know You're my only hope.

I give You my destiny,
I'm giving You all of me.
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am.
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down,
And I lift my hands 
And pray to be only Yours--
I pray to be only Yours:
I know You're my only hope.


I think my favorite line is "When it feels that my dreams are so far, sing to me of the plans that YOU have for me."  It reminds me of Jeremiah 29:11 where God states that His desire is to only make us prosper.  His ways far exceed our own plans.  That is abundantly comforting, especially when our plans seem to be falling apart all around.  His ways are wonderful.
