Song for the Soul.........."Hope Now" by Addison Road

As I posted yesterday, music has always been incredibly important to me in my life. When I am down, it lifts me up. When I rejoice, it is there to help me do that to.

It has been on my heart for a while to share some of the songs that have touch my heart and why. The first one I wanted to start with is one I have loved for a very long time. If you were at church this last weekend you probably heard Erin sing this so beautifully for us. Erin, if you are reading this, you did such a wonderful job! It definitely brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart. Thank you for using the gift God has given you to bless us all so much.

The song is "Hope Now" by Addison Road. If you have never heard it before, or if you just love it like I do, take a minute to listen to it now.




I just love this song. Even before I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's, this song always touched my heart, but now...wow! I usually can't make it through the song without getting teared up.

Here are the lyrics:

(VERSE 1)
If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours

(PRE-CHORUS)
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

(VERSE 2)
When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter my from the storm

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

(PRE-CHORUS)
I am not my own
I've been carried by you all my life

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now

Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

(CHORUS)
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free

(CHORUS 2)
You've become my hearts desires
I will sing Your praises higher
Your love sets me free
(Your love sets me free)
Your love sets me free
(You love sets me free)
Your love sets me free

Just as the song says, how quickly we forget that we are God's and not our own. He has truly sheltered me from so many storms and is continuing to shelter me from this storm and His love truly has set me free. I could go on forever on how many ways this song touches my soul. How about you? Does this song touch yours? I would love to hear about it if it does. :-)
