You Were My Last Hope
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 was on the bottom looking down still
I had nothing left to call my own
I let circumstances weigh down on me
Endless nights just left me all alone
I tried everything I knew
Till someone told me about You
Chorus:
And Jesus
You were my last hope
When I'd given up on trying
Nowhere to run
I had nowhere to go
You heard my last prayer
When no one but You cared
It was all I could do
To go on but then You
Were my one last hope
Don't know why You listen to my problems
Don't know why You saved me long ago
Why You wiped the tears
That I'd been crying
And took me in Your arms
And held me close
Repeat Chorus
