A Living Hope

I've got me a living hope,
it's as real as can be
a sure and certain hope
that has taken hold of me.

I've got me a lively hope,
once Jesus, I received
a sure and certain hope
His resurrection, I believe.

I've got me a future hope,
my death is not the end
a sure and certain hope
into heaven, I will ascend.

I've got me a looming hope,
when Jesus comes again
a sure and certain hope
eternal life, I will attain.

I've got me a present hope,
that today I can enjoy
a sure and certain hope
every day I can employ.

I've got me a current hope,
my faith in Jesus is why
a sure and certain hope
God's power will get me by.

I've got me a living hope,
for the future and today
a sure and certain hope
with Jesus, I'll be someday!

1 Peter 1:3

"Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ,which according to
his abundant mercy hath begotten us
again unto a lively hope by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead;"
