There is a Hope

There is a hope that burns within my heart,
That gives me strength for every passing day;
A glimpse of glory now revealed in meager part,
Yet drives all doubt away:
I stand in Christ, with sins forgiven;
And Christ in me, the hope of heaven!
My highest calling and my deepest joy,
To make His will my home.

There is a hope that lifts my weary head,
A consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,
I find the Saviour there!
Through present sufferings, future's fear,
He whispers 'courage' in my ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home.

There is a hope that stands the test of time,
That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave,
To see the matchless beauty of a day divine
When I behold His face!
When sufferings cease and sorrows die,
And every longing satisfied.
Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,
For I am truly home

Who at My Door is Standing?

Who at my door is standing,
Patiently drawing near,
Entrance within demanding?
Whose is the voice I hear?

Refrain

Sweetly the tones are falling;
“Open the door for Me!
If thou wilt heed My calling,
I will abide with thee.”

Lonely without He’s staying;
Lonely within am I;
While I am still delaying,
Will He not pass me by?

Refrain

All through the dark hours dreary,
Knocking again is He;
Jesus, art Thou not weary,
Waiting so long for me?

Refrain

Door of my heart, I hasten!
Thee will I open wide.
Though He rebuke and chasten,
He shall with me abide.

Refrain

I Just Heard from Heaven

1. Once I wandered out in sin, far from God away,

But the Savior took me in, gave me peace that day.
Al my heart to Him I give, no more sin allowed,
And I've just heard from heaven, and it's all right now.

CHORUS:

Well, I've just heard from heaven and there's one thing I know.
My sins are all forgiven, He washed me white as snow.
The load that once I carried, He took away somehow,
And I've just heard from heaven, and it's all right now.

2. Trials come to you and me, burdens hard to bear,
But Our heartaches, grief, and pain He will gladly bear.
So just look up and trust in Him, and leave your burdens there,
And you will hear from heaven when you call in prayer.

CHORUS:

3. When my load is hard to bear, and my path dim,
No one else seems to care, then I go to Him.
He's my intercessor there, so at His feet I bow,
And I've just heard from heaven, and it's all right now.

CHORUS:
