Where Hope Resides

Where Hope Resides

Chorus:
He’s not a shadow hiding in the sky,
Nor a whisper lost in winds that pass.
He is the King who rules over all,
A Father who sees, who draws us near.

He showed His love through His only Son—
The Lamb, the Light, the Risen One.
So lift your head, oh heart so torn;
There’s healing still — it’s why He was born.

Verse 1:
There is a place on the mountaintop where hope resides.
Those who dared it, paid the price.
The road was rough, the night was long, and the sky gave no sign—
Yet a few pressed on.

Some came from corners where dreams are thin,
Where life feels heavy and worn from within.
But up that hill, they met a name —
And walked back down, no more the same. Chorus

Verse 2:
You see, the streets don’t smile no more,
People walk like they’ve been through war.
No justice here—just tales we trade,
Of silent cries and hopes that fade.

But there’s a whisper in the wind today,
A voice that calls the lost, the frayed:
“You who carry burdens deep,
Come to Me—I Am that I Am—I’ll give you peace.” Chorus

Bridge:
Some say, “Where is God in the pain I see?”
But He was nailed to a tree — for you, for me.
Not just a tale from books, or stones, or scrolls,
But the One who still mends shattered souls. (2x)
