THEME: Christian hope is the spiritual gasoline that fuels our faith, and keeps us running with perseverance. A Christian without hope is an oxymoron, like a car with no engine.
VERSE 1
For the New Jerusalem
For eternal rest with Him
Halleluiah and Amen!
THIS IS THE HOPE WE HAVE!
Our Redeemer face to face
Then the Father's glad embrace
Now and always in His grace
THIS IS THE HOPE WE HAVE!
CHORUS
So we run with perseverance now
Being held, we hold on tight somehow
Till at Jesus' feet we humbly bow
This is the hope we have
The hope we have
VERSE 2
From the seed of suffering
Persevering faith will spring
Where O death is now your sting?
THIS IS THE HOPE WE HAVE!
No more night, no tears, no pain
As the Lamb who once was slain
Claims His right to rule and reign
THIS IS THE HOPE WE HAVE!
VERSE 3
Our salvation now complete
Trophies laid at Jesus' feet
At that marriage feast we'll eat
THIS IS THE HOPE WE HAVE!
Saved forever from the rod
There before the throne of God
Faithful love we'll then applaud
THIS IS THE HOPE WE HAVE!
