Lyrics

Our One Hope
©2023 Von Newcomb/PS Three-Cubed Music
 
Verse 1
How far from the light of the home-fire
Does the warmth of the Father’s love fade?
Or does it burn on, but the voice of a liar
In the darkness betrays, “There is no one to save!”?
Can you see His star is shining?
Can you hear the angels’ song?
All-consuming love is blazing,
The Father’s reach is long
 
Chorus
Our one Hope came and shattered the darkness
As a breathless world longed for a sight
The Creator of life took on flesh as the Light
Of the promise--God is with us
And the fear that had grown,
‘Cause we thought we’re alone
Was dispelled when Immanuel spoke
The chasm of silence he broke!
The Child is our one hope!
 
Verse 2
Is it true in the spiraling quiet
The cries of the distant aren’t heard?
Or was Your reply to the world’s lament
In the fullness of time, the gift of the Word?
Spoken now, the invitation
Come and see the Prince of Peace!
Every tribe and tongue and nation
Not beyond His reach
 
Chorus
Our one Hope came and shattered the darkness
As a breathless world longed for a sight
The Creator of life took on flesh as the Light
Of the promise--God is with us
And the fear that had grown,
‘Cause we thought we’re alone
Was dispelled when Immanuel spoke
The chasm of silence he broke!
The Child is our…
 
Bridge
One hope of grace extended
One hope of fears released
One hope when God descended,
May His kingdom never cease!
 
One hope, a Son is given
One hope, a Child is born
One hope, a righteous kingdom
Darkness, shame and death—no more!
 
Chorus-
Our one Hope came and shattered the darkness
As a breathless world longed for a sight
The Creator of life took on flesh as the Light
Of the promise--God is with us
And the fear that had grown,
‘Cause we thought we’re alone
Was dispelled when Immanuel spoke
The chasm of silence he broke!
The Child is our one hope!
The chasm of silence he broke!
The Child is our one hope!
The Child is our one hope.
Jesus, our one hope.
