There is a hope: Pdf sheet music

THERE IS A HOPE that burns within my heart,
That gives me strength for every passing day;
A glimpse of glory now revealed in meagre part,
Yet drives all doubt away:
I stand in Christ, with sins forgiven;
And Christ in me, the hope of heaven!
My highest calling and my deepest joy,
To make His will my home.

There is a hope that lifts my weary head,
A consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,
I find the Saviour there!
Through present sufferings, future's fear,
He whispers 'courage' in my ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home.

There is a hope that stands the test of time,
That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave,
To see the matchless beauty of a day divine
When I behold His face!
When sufferings cease and sorrows die,
And every longing satisfied.
Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,
For I am truly home.

Review There is a Hope 28 July 2008 Rating: Posted by: John Wilkins This is one of those few songs I've heard in recent years that have sent shivers down my spine ... Stuart Townend has a gift for expressing things I've wanted to say in prayer to the Lord, or to tell my friends how I feel about God, in a lyrical way which is both personal and yet not embarrassingly 'sugary-sweet'. The power of prayer seems to shine through in every phrase, and coming to the ending, you feel it's all been said. Outstanding.

Review Some comments on the sheet music 21 December 2008 Rating: Posted by: Derek Bishop Had a look at the sheet music and played through it on guitar. May end up deleting some of the chords. Would be good to be able to transpose on-line so that it can be played in another key with capo. The song is beautiful.
