I've got a song in hope

I’ve got a song that lifts me over

And never lets me come back down

To that dirty road behind me, and    

I’m just keeping on in hope;

Knowing God is always with me

Though the darkness takes my sight

I’ve got a song-- that lifts me over

And I’m moving on in hope

  Can you see that river rising at my feet?

  Calling out my name with comfort    

 Holding hate in raging torrents

  And vendetta powered currents 

Why should I harbor tears and embrace 

 Those fears-- as do others without grace?

 With God’s loving arms around me;

  I’ve got a song that lifts me over

 And I’m keeping on in hope
