Hope Will Rise Again

Hope Will Rise Again
Words & Music by Steve Siler

When you step inside the church doors
The walls start closing in
You feel judging eyes surround you
Even though your secret’s hid
You think that I must hate you
That that’s what you deserve
But even when you hate yourself
I still see your worth, and

I’m not here to punish you
I’m not here to condemn
I’m here to heal your heart
so hope will rise again

Bring the past and all its choices
One by one into the light
Until truth and understanding
Bring new meaning to your life
I know it may be fearful
to let the story out
But it’s only through surrender
That freedom can be found

I’m not here to punish you
I’m not here to condemn
I’m here to heal your heart
and help new life begin
Peace is what I have for you
and love that’s without end
I know the plans I have for you
and hope will rise again

You cannot be separated from my love

I’m not here to punish you
I’m not here to condemn
I’m here to heal your heart
and help new life begin
Peace is what I have for you
and love that’s without end
I know the plans I have for you
and hope will rise
Hope will rise
Hope will rise
Hope will rise again

We find God’s unconditional love hard to accept given what we have done. The lyrics counter that.

Georgette Forney, Co-Founder, Silent No More Awareness Campaign, Pittsburgh, PA

Love this! God’s voice of healing, love—no matter what!—hope and restoration. God sees all, He knows all, and He loves us anyway! Powerful message—and beautiful music!

Mary Comm , Author, Secret Sin: When God’s People Choose Abortion

I can see SaveOne using Hope Will Rise Again that song in our classes. It’s phenomenal!

Sheila Harper, SaveOne.Org

The songwriter should have a doctorate Not only does this song hit all the right notes on the healing process. It hits them in the right order.

Greg Hasek, MA, MFT, LPC , Southwest Florida Christian Counseling, Bonita Springs, FL
