Song: hope to carry on
Album: Intimate Portrait
Year: 1997
And I will sing for the meek
Those who pray with their very lives for peace
Though they're in chains for a higher call
Their mourning will change into laughter
When the nations fall
In spirit, war and mercy, rest
They hunger for your righteousness
Their heart's refined in a purity
Lord, led these shine for them
Lord, let me see
Lord, let me shine for them
Lord, let me see
I can see Jesus hanging on the cross
I can see Jesus hanging on the cross
I can see Jesus hanging on the cross
He came looking for the lost
And love has come
Love has come
Love has come
And it's giving me hope to carry on
I can hear Jesus saying, "Father forgive"
I can hear Jesus saying, "Father forgive"
I can hear Jesus saying, "Father forgive"
What a thing He did
Love has come
Love has come
Love has come
And it's giving me hope to carry on
I can see love, love is all I want to see
Love can make a beggar rich, it can set a prisoner free
I know He can do it for you
And God knows He did it for me
I can see love, love is all I want to show you love
Love's the only way to go, it's love
And love is all a man might need to know
Yes, I know
You know Peter put away his sword
I can see Peter puttin' away his sword
I can see Peter puttin' away his sword
He won't fight no more
Love has come
Love has come
Love has come
And it's giving me hope to carry on
I got to carry love on
