MY HOPES
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
MY HOPES
I bow before You
Humbled in my past
Pride shatters through
The hopes that don't last
Since we've last spoken
Lord I've been Broken
Here I am, bowing down
My sin burned in flame
Smoking ruins all around
My only Hope is in Your name
I'm tired of doing this alone
Falling here before Your Throne
On my knees I humbly pray
Forgive my arrogant sin
The ruin of sin is my way
Only hope if I let you in
Lord You forget my past
To You alone I hold fast
On wings of eagles You lift
Your Glory won't pass me by
Your Salvation is a glorious gift
Precious Hope, drawing me nigh
Lord here I present my loss
To all before Your Cross
AMEN
