Holy Water by ‘We the Kingdom’ (a Christian Hope Song)
This beautiful song is a confession of being at the point of sheer desperation for God and finding hope and fulfillment in His forgiveness of our sins so that we can start life anew in His mercy, love, and grace.
God, I’m on my knees again
God, I’m begging please again
I need you
Oh, I need you
Walking down these desert roads
Water for my thirsty soul
I need you
Oh, I need you
Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
Like Holy water on my skin
My Hope Is In You by Third Day
It can be hard to put your trust fully and completely in the Lord when you don’t know what His plan is for your life especially if you find yourself devoid of hope. This encouraging short song helps remind us that we can put our whole hope and trust in Jesus because He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
To You, O Lord, I lift my soul
In You, O God, I place my trust
Do not let me be put to shame
Nor let my enemies triumph over me
My hope is You
Show me Your ways
Guide me in truth
In all my days
My hope is You
Graves Into Gardens by Elevation Worship
Why would we put our faith in mankind who is fallible and disappoints us so easily? This song illustrates how God can turn even the most hopeless situation into a beacon of light. The hope of a new day and a better world radiate from these lyrics.
I searched the world
But it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise
And treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along
And put me back together
And every desire
Is now satisfied
Here in Your love
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You’re the only one who can
You turn graves into garden
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can
I Will Rise by Chris Tomlin
Death seems so final, but Jesus has shown us that He is victorious even over death. His resurrection gives us hope that the sorrows of this world will pass and we will enter into His kingdom where despair and hopelessness do not exist.
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
