Hope

Only You

Perhaps, it would be sweet

to fall asleep and will never awake

When all the pains and sorrows abound

often weary and down

Perhaps, it would be sweet

to find a moment relief

from worries I have within

Only to numb this aching wounded heart

and restless mind in a cold sleepless night

Teardrops fill my eyes time and again

and tomorrow seems another long tiring day

Wonder why it feels that

I have the world on my shoulder

But there's something that kept me living

With all of my faith and a vow I have made to Him

Cause I know that I must bear,

I must endure this life that I borrowed

Waiting for the promise,

an everlasting life with you

So whenever it seems

that hope is slowly fading away

I gaze at heavens and beyond the stars

knowing You're out there who could understand

By Your mercy and loving grace,

I know You'll touch me with a caring hand

As long as I have trust in Your name

For You are my comfort,

the safe refuge of my soul

Perhaps, I'll have to bring

all these along as I travel the road

To lead me in this journey to a place that I long

Into Your paradise I can call home

Glimpse of You has always been a dream

and to be with You, spending endless joy

Where all pains are gone and left behind forever

For Every falling tear

shall be treasure to keep

For every bitterness

shall be sweet to my taste

For every taunt I take

shall be glory and praise

Every suffering in my life

I'll be thankful and gladly embrace

More than what life could bring

Hope will always be...

Only You
