My Hope Is in the Lord

Be still my soul, for the best is yet to come Though the earth below is shaking and I struggle to hold on To anything that isn't bolted down Watching my whole world shatter on the ground And I find that I am safe and sound My hope is in the Lord And I am blessed beyond compare To find my joy in things that last Finding peace in who I am Rather than my circumstance I'd rather hear one simple phrase From my Father's loving voice Than to hear the praise of strangers My hope is in the Lord Be calm and wait, for your future is secure And though this flesh be broken, your spirit will endure For the battle is not with skin and bone And though we own the world, we are beggars all And I hear the voice of Jesus call Our hope is in the Lord And I am blessed beyond compare To find my joy in things that last Finding peace in who I am Rather than my circumstance I'd rather hear one simple phrase From my Father's loving voice Than to hear the praise of strangers My hope is in the Lord So come and rest in the promise of His grace That we are all just travelers And our destination waits For the pain you feel is temporary Victims all of the ordinary But God is offering sanctuary Our hope is in the Lord And oh, I am blessed beyond compare To find my joy in things that last Finding peace in who I am Rather than my circumstance I'd rather hear one simple phrase From my Father's loving voice Than to hear the praise of strangers My hope is in the Lord Oh, I'd rather hear one simple phrase From my Father's loving voice Than to hear the praise of strangers (My hope is in the Lord) than to hear the praise of strangers My hope is in the Lord
