My hope is not in this life, Nor this pass - ing World's re - ward, But my hope is in a life That will nev - er fade; My hope is in You, Jes - us, Risen King ascend - ed Lord, Even death it - self could not Hold You in the grave And Je - sus You've gone Be - fore us And Your faithful - ness Nev - er fails In the dark - ness You re - as - sure us, You're our an - chor Beyond the veil And when the storm Is rag - ing And I'm battered by The waves, You're my refuge And my strength I shall not be moved; And when the night Surrounds me And I cannot see my way, You will guide me in Your Right - eous - ness And Your truth And though we can - not See You We await that glo - rious hour When this earth - ly veil Is finally stripped a - way; And when we hear That trum - pet And You come With awe - some pow'r, We shall gaze upon The ra - diance Of Your face (Repeat twice)
