The Hope That Ever Rings
the days bled into nights
and feelings bled into words
sleep fled from my eyes
and warmth fled from the world
it’s a long long road
into valleys where the sun won’t shine
over mountains far too tall to climb
then you feel alone
and the days bleed into nights again
and the weary world still laments
the pain surmounts to numbness
and you can’t go on
only miracles could solve this
and faith is long gone
it’s a long long road
around the countless hills you find
over deserts that bake your mind
then you feel alone
and the searing pain makes you blind
and hope seems like it’s far behind
one day seems like a thousand years
but this hope ever rings in my ears
the lame have walked, the dumb have talked
and the sick and the dead have laughed
and here I walk this long long road
knowing for God nothing is hard
for through Him I can do all things
and cling to the Hope that ever rings
