Hope Arise

from Desert Songs by David Woodman

about

The book of Isaiah talks about God's people finding treasure in darkness and receiving beauty from ashes - which of course means that we will inevitably experience dark times. No-one is immune.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Listen to my prayer, O God
Hear my cry and answer me.
I'm troubled by my anxious thoughts
Overwhelmed by fear of what could be
But I know that my Redeemer lives
I know that you are faithful.

Chorus:
Hope arise, let hope arise;
Fan the flame of faith in me.
Split the dark with your heavenly light
So I can glimpse eternity.

Verse 2:
Father, will you lift my head,
Loving God, deliver me.
I'm tired from this desperate fight,
Longing for your hand to rescue me.
I cast my cares on you, my Rock
For you are my sustainer.

Bridge:
You promise beauty from these ashes,
Diamonds in the dust,
Treasure in the darkness, so I will dare to trust.
There is hope here for the hopeless,
Strength when I am weak.
Father, in your mercy, give me eyes to see
