Written
December 1997,
It was very late in the evening
and I was waiting for my luggage at the airport. Every- one's luggage was
late, and all the waiting people were visibly tired, grumpy, silent and
motionless. Not one person was smiling. It seemed like I was the only person
with any energy or life–or joy and bope–like l was in a mannequin showroom.
I thought about so many people in the worId without God and without any
bope, and the line came to me. "So many smiles frownin' in pain." By the
time I got my luggage and arrived home, I had the lyrics to this song.
To truly have hope and always
be able to hold on to "The Hope" of Cbrist's return and eternal life, one
must know God's premises. "Hope knows God's promises."
Ephesians 2:12-13
Titus 1:2, 2:12-13
Hebrews 6:18-19

13. Hold on
to Hope
So many lifetimes wastin'
in wonderin'
So many smiles frownin'
in pain
Looking at life through
fault finding blinders
Sun shining so brightly
expecting the rain
Once walked among those
empty with no hope
Darkly descending
to the end of my rope
Love lifted me up
with hope as a lifeline
My hurting heart healed
holding to hope
Remember when life
brings you up then down
The good times turn
comes back around
It's a bumpy ride
life's merry-go-round
Seems so fast seems
so slow
There's always a sure
thing to bold on to
You can always hold
on to hope
Hope is so sure
Hope helps endure
Hope holds on to hope
When all is all given
keep on keep going
Hope can help you
to always do more
Hard times turn into
good times in no time
Hope knows God's promises
and keeps them secure
Always hold on to
Know where you're
going to
Only when you really
hold on to hope
