Lyrics
Where Hope Resides Chorus: Hes not a shadow hiding in the sky, Nor a whisper lost in winds that pass. He is the King who rules over all, A Father who sees, who draws us near. He showed His love through His only Son The Lamb, the Light, the Risen One. So lift your head, oh heart so torn; Theres healing still its why He was born. Verse 1: There is a place on the mountaintop where hope resides. Those who dared it, paid the price. The road was rough, the night was long, and the sky gave no sign Yet a few pressed on. Some came from corners where dreams are thin, Where life feels heavy and worn from within. But up that hill, they met a name And walked back down, no more the same. *Chorus* Verse 2: You see, the streets dont smile no more, People walk like theyve been through war. No justice herejust tales we trade, Of silent cries and hopes that fade. But theres a whisper in the wind today, A voice that calls the lost, the frayed: You who carry burdens deep, Come to MeI Am that I AmIll give you peace. *Chorus* Bridge: Some say, Where is God in the pain I see? But He was nailed to a tree for you, for me. Not just a tale from books, or stones, or scrolls, But the One who still mends shattered souls.
