Since Jesus is my hope,
I won’t be put to shame.
On him I can rely,
And holy is his name.
The storms of life do rage,
And threaten with despair,
But the tiger has no teeth,
While the lion lamb is there.
Since the world began they say,
We’ve progressed and come along.
There was no fall of man
Looking back is all wrong.
Look ahead and see the triumph
Of man in a world of night.
Our prowess, our will our way,
Mind and might we find our light.
Forget the days of yore,
When people were ill treated,
Today we have arrived
And history has been defeated.
Yet since the fall of man,
The goal has been the same.
Man is the measure of it all,
And holy is his name.
It’s a Song as old as time
But we dressed it in a robe
If you don’t follow you’re blind
And a danger to our hope.
And yet a hope that dies
Is really no hope at all
Unless that hope can rise
And overcome the fall
Since Jesus is my hope,
I won’t be put to shame.
On him I can rely,
And holy is his name
