Hope

Verse 1

In the silence of the evening,

When the weight is hard to bear,

When the life I knew is changing,

And I’m searching for You there.

I have nowhere else to turn to,

No strength left of my own,

So I lift my voice toward heaven,

To the One who knows me whole.

Chorus

Answer me when I call You,

My righteous God, draw near.

Give me relief from my distress,

Be merciful and hear.

When my heart is overwhelmed,

When I cannot see the way,

I will put my trust in You, Lord—

Have mercy, hear my prayer.

Verse 2

There are dreams I have surrendered,

There are wounds I cannot hide,

There are questions without answers,

And a pain I carry inside.

But You’ve met me in the breaking,

You have held me through the night,

And even when I cannot feel You,

I will trust You are my light.

Chorus

Answer me when I call You,

My righteous God, draw near.

Give me relief from my distress,

Be merciful and hear.

When my heart is overwhelmed,

When I cannot see the way,

I will put my trust in You, Lord—

Have mercy, hear my prayer.

Bridge

You are God when doors are closing,

You are God when plans fall through.

You are God within the sorrow,

And Your promises are true.

What I’ve lost is not my future,

What is broken You can mend.

So I’ll place tomorrow in Your hands,

Again and again.

Final Chorus

Answer me when I call You,

My righteous God, draw near.

Give me relief from my distress,

Be merciful and hear.

Though the road before me changes,

Still my faith will remain.

I will rest beneath Your mercy,

I will trust You through the pain.

Outro

In peace I’ll lie down and sleep,

For You alone keep me secure.

Through every night, through every change,

My God, I will trust in You.
