Hope Lies Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll shed this load that I've carried so long
I'll cut off my hair and sing a new song
Jesus help me to find out what's wrong
You've shown me where my hope lies now
Help me to take the bull by the horns
Help me to accept my crown of thorns
Let this heart be riven and torn
Give me strength to be a fool
And free the fear of ridicule
Help me become the Lord's tool
And if my will is truly steeled
Then all my hurt will all be healed
When all will finally be revealed
You've shown me where my hope lies now
