Anything you can name, I tried it Doing my best to fill this hole in my heart Hope was always out on the horizon But I could never ever seem to reach quite that far And I had everything this world could offer Everything but what I needed most I called out to Jesus, "Please come help me" He heard my cry and He gave me hope I can live for forty days and nights without a single bite to eat I can live for hours and hours without a drop to drink And I can hold my breath for minutes at a time But I can't live a second without hope in my life Now everyday I wake up smiling Knowin' that He's got a perfect plan for my life He's changing everything about me He lets me see this great big world through His eyes I can't believe the places that He takes me I can't believe the joy that I feel
He fills my heart with so much hope for tomorrow He took my life and made it oh so real I can live for forty days and nights without a single bite to eat I can live for hours and hours without a drop to drink And I can hold my breath for minutes at a time But I can't live a second without hope in my life I can't live a second without hope in my life Hope is my oxygen The food that feeds my soul Jesus quenched my deepest thirst Oh, Jesus made me whole I can live for forty days and nights without a single bite to eat I can live for hours and hours without a drop to drink And I can hold my breath for minutes at a time But I can't live a second without hope in my life No, I can't live a second without hope Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no Not without hope
