What's the big deal why all the excitement Folks say to me wherever I go Why get so loud why all the emotion there is no cause to make such a show But if they only knew the change in me When I found the hope that set me free For I can't help but shout for I know without doubt that I have a hope I have a hope(I have a hope) Its not just emotion I have a hope(I have a hope) That anchors my soul It's more than a dream(more than a dream) More than a notion It brings me knew life when I sing in the night I have a hope This hope that I have has lived through the ages He's never changed he's always the same When I read his word he just walks through the pages Something goes through me, when I hear his name His name is councilor and friend and he is the one on whom I depend His word is my sword yes Jesus is lord And he is my hope I have a hope(i have a hope) Its not just emotion I have a hope(i have a hope) That anchors my soul It's more than a dream(more than a dream) More than a notion It brings me knew life when I sing in the night I have a hope
