Via my auditory memories I can hear my children’s voices singing, “My only hope is You….” Almost 30 years ago at summer camp in Kiamichi hills of eastern Oklahoma we learned this song written by Keith Lancaster.
It blessed my heart to hear the truth of the message in the simple lyrics, the sweet tune, and their precious voices singing of our hope… peace… joy.
Past, present, or future all that I need is Jesus, because “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
MY ONLY HOPE IS YOU
My only hope is You, Jesus,
My only hope is You.
From early in the morning to late at night,
My only hope is You.
My only peace is You, Jesus,
My only peace is You.
From early in the morning to late at night,
My only peace is You.
My only joy is You, Jesus,
My only joy is You.
From early in the morning to late at night,
My only joy is You.
All that I need is You, Jesus,
All that I need is You.
From early in the morning to late at night,
All that I need is You.
My only hope is You, Jesus,
My only hope is You.
From early in the morning to late at night,
My only hope is You.
From early in the morning to late at night,
My only hope is You.
