He's awakening the hope in me By calling forth my destiny He's breathing life into my soul I will thirst for Him, and him alone He has come like the rain That showers on the barren plain So my heart and tongue confess Jesus Christ, the hope of man My hope is in you, God I am steadfast, I will not be moved I'm anchored, never shaken All my hope is in you He's bringing hope to the hopeless And giving his heart to the broken And sharing his home with the orphan He is the joy, He is my joy He is the hope of the nations The Father's heart we're embracing He is the song we're declaring He is the joy, He is my joy You're bringing hope to the hopeless And giving your heart to the broken And sharing your home with the orphan You are the joy, You are my joy You are the hope of the nations The Father's heart we're embracing You are the song we're declaring You are the joy, You are my joy Why so downcast oh, oh my soul Put your hope in God alone
