It Might Be Hope

Sara Groves is my very favorite musician. She and a few others (such as Switchfoot) have given me many songs of healing, understanding and hope. These are the lyrics to one of her newest songs and they are really carrying me right now in my efforts to strive ahead in hope...

It Might Be Hope by Sara Groves
You do your work the best that you can
you put one foot in front of the other
life comes in waves and makes it's demands
you hold on as well as your able

You've been here for a long long time

Hope has a way of turning it's face to you
just when you least expect it
you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it's been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hope

It's hard to recall what blew out the flame
it's been dark since you can remember
you talk it all through to find it a name
as days go on by without number

You've been here for a long long time

Hope has a way of turning it's face to you
just when you least expect it
you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it's been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hope

And, as always, if I really sit back and look at these sweet, sweet faces I will find that my hope has been there all the while - I just misplace it from time to time.
