Times are hard 
Times have changed 
Don't you say 
But I keep holding on to you 
It's hard to keep the faith alive day to day 
Leaning on the strength I've found in you 
You're the hope of all the Earth 

You are my hope 
You are my strength 
You're everything 
Everything I need 
You are my hope 
You are my life 
You are my hope 
You are my hope 

Far beyond what I can see or comprehend 
Etching your eternity in me 
Nations stream and angels sing, "Jesus reigns" 
And every knee bows down 
You're the hope of all the Earth 

You are my hope 
You are my strength 
You're everything 
Everything I need 
You are my hope 
You are my life 
You are my hope 
You are my hope 

Carry on and I sing of how 
You love and I love you now 
All the times that I start to sink 
You come and you rescue me 
You are my hope 
You are my hope
