What anchor holds when others fail What lets the soul sing it is well What stands secure from death to life We cling to this the hope of Christ The letting go the tears we cry The silence left after goodbye The lonely prayers the longest nights We hold to this the hope of Christ I lift my eyes to where my help comes from My fire by night my shelter in the storm Until the dawn when Your kingdom comes This my light the hope of Christ What takes the shame of yesterday What sets me free from past mistakes And when I fall I know I'll rise Because of this the hope of Christ I lift my eyes to where my help comes from My fire by night my shelter in the storm Until the dawn when Your kingdom comes This my light the hope of Christ 'Till on that day when Jesus comes When every lie will be undone And every wrong will be made right Oh only this the hope of Christ I lift my eyes to where my help comes from My fire by night my shelter in the storm Until the dawn when Your kingdom comes This my light the hope of Christ I lift my eyes to where my help comes from My fire by night my shelter in the storm Until the dawn when Your kingdom comes This my light the hope of Christ Oh this my light the hope of Christ
