Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I was wanderin’ through the darkness, with a heart so full of fear,
But mercy found this broken soul, and whispered, “Child, I’m here.”
He gave me life through Jesus’ name, washed my sins away,
Now I’m holdin’ on to promises that won’t be swept away.
(Chorus)
I’ve got a hope that never fades, even when the skies turn gray,
A light that shines through trials and pain, and leads me through the rain.
Though the fire may rise around me, I won’t be dismayed.
I’m standin’ on the rock of grace, with a hope that never fades.
(Verse 2)
I’m a stranger in this country, But I know where I belong,
Not of silver, not of riches, but the blood that makes me strong.
Though the world may try to shake me, Still I’ll bless His name
For the cross before me holds a crown That no one can take away.
(Chorus)
I’ve got a hope that never fades, even when the skies turn gray,
A light that shines through trials and pain, and leads me through the rain.
Though the fire may rise around me, I won’t be dismayed.
I’m standin’ on the rock of grace, with a hope that never fades.
(Bridge)
He calls us chosen, set apart, His mercy lights the way,
A royal priesthood born to shine in dark and weary days.
[Final Chorus – with added harmony]
We’ve got a hope that never fades, even when the world may change,
A Savior who will never leave, so faithful and so brave.
Through the storm and through the sorrow, Still His truth remains
We’re anchored deep in Jesus’ name, with a hope that never fades.
(Outro)
Yes, we’re anchored deep in Jesus’ name,
With a hope that never fades...
