Romans 15 13

Dust on the road to Corinth town

Sandaled feet on the stony ground

A weary soul by the olive tree

Prayin’ for chains to set men free

By lantern light the old words came

Paul spoke hope in Jesus’ name

To broken hearts and trembling hands

Grace like rain on thirsty land

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing

So that by the power of the Holy Spirit

You may abound in hope”

The widows cried, the children sang

Hallelujah through the pain and rain

Bread was broken, cups were raised

Voices echoed endless praise

In prison dark or raging sea

The Lord was there beside His sheep

Empires rise and kingdoms fall

But Jesus Christ outshines them all

Oh, fill my heart with holy fire

Lift my soul a little higher

When fear and sorrow cloud my way

Lord, let Your mercy light the day

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing

So that by the power of the Holy Spirit

You may abound in hope”

Trumpets sounding in the night

Saints still walking by faith not sight

From Jerusalem to Rome they cried

Jesus lives though He once died

Hope for the poor and mercy for the weak

Strength for the ones too worn to speak

The Spirit moves like heaven’s wind

And fills our hearts again, again
