Life is so cruel
My days are always met with such grief
Such pain, such sorrow
Such doubt, leading me to question my beliefs
Is God real?
Is this even true?
But that's when I reach the conclusion
That there is nothing I'd rather do
Even if there isn't a God
I'd still serve Him as if He was there
I'd still worship, dance, sing
And I'd live without a care
Why take away the only thing we have?
Why take away our hope?
It's like you condemn us
And hang us by a rope
If I don't have God
I am not me
Sadly this is a truth
That I don't always see
But everything that God is
Is the essence of what I dream
A Father, a God, a perfect friend
This is what I want in a life, or so it seems
When I'm trapped in my own self doubt
My own pity and sorrow
He lifts my head with a kind smile
And gives me the hope I need for tomorrow
When I awake in Heaven
When I see His face
I want to thank Him
For all of His grace
Because I am naught but a sinner
I've lied, I've cheated, I've been rude
But God picked me out, cleaned me up
And changed my whole attitude
He is my hope because
I long for nothing more
Where my life had been nothing but closed opportunities
He was the kind Father who opened up the door
He is my hope because
I have no other reason to live
It's because of Him that I am who I have become today
And even though I still stumble, He is always ready to forgive
So what about you?
I stand with God and in Him I hope
But when life gets rough
How will you choose to cope?
I know my path, but what of you?
Will you take His hand
And at least give Him a chance
Maybe then you might understand
Would you take a chance?
God loves you
So now is the time to ask yourself
What will you do?
