I Would Have Lost Hope

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

That I would see

The goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living

In the land of the living

Feelin' torn apart

By questions in my heart

Searchin' for answers to quiet my fears

The harder I pretend

The pain is deep within

The stronger I feel Him drawing me near

I know He calmed the sea

And made the blind to see

But how can I believe

That He could really care for me?

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

That I would see

The goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living

In the land of the living

Wrapped inside His light

He hides me from the night

His mercy keeps me right where I belong

Now in times of fear

When doubt tries to appear

His faithful love is my shield and my song

God's promise never fails

His Word will light the way

No trial can erase

The blessed assurance of His grace

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

That I would see

The goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living

In the land of the living

Wait on the Lord

Wait on the Lord

Wait on the Lord

Wait and be of good courage

Wait on the Lord

Wait on the Lord

Wait on the Lord

He shall strengthen your heart

Wait, I say, on the Lord

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

That I would see

The goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living

In the land of the living

In the land of the living

You are the hope of my life

In the land of the living

Guarding me day and night

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

I would have lost hope

Unless I had believed

Everyday

Every hour

I see the goodness of the Lord

I would have lost hope
