There is a hope

This LO was done several weeks ago for a scraplift challenge over at FaithscrappersUK. The challenge is a bit like Chinese Whispers - one person chooses a LO does a scraplift then emails their LO to the next person on the list, who does a scraplift then passes it on. The theme had to be a hymn or song. I chose There is a Hope by Stuart Townend. The photo was taken when we were in Rome at the Coliseum.

The words of the song are

There is a hope that burns within my heart,

That gives me strength for every passing day;

A glimpse of glory now revealed in meagre part,

Yet drives all doubt away:

I stand in Christ, with sins forgiven;

And Christ in me, the hope of heaven!

My highest calling and my deepest joy,

To make His will my home.

There is a hope that lifts my weary head,

A consolation strong against despair,

That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,

I find the Saviour there!

Through present sufferings, future's fear,

He whispers 'courage' in my ear.

For I am safe in everlasting arms,

And they will lead me home.

There is a hope that stands the test of time,

That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave,

To see the matchless beauty of a day divine

When I behold His face!

When sufferings cease and sorrows die,

And every longing satisfied,

Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,

For I am truly home.
