Hope In Front Of Me

psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv

I’ve been running through rain that I thought would never end
Trying to make it on faith in a struggle against the wind
I’ve seen the dark and the broken places
But I know in my soul no matter how bad it gets, I’ll be alright

There’s hope in front of me
There’s a light I still see it
There’s a hand still holding me
Even when I don’t believe it
I might be down but I’m not dead
There’s better days still up ahead
Even after all I’ve seen, there’s hope in front of me

There’s a place at the end of the storm you’ll finally find
Where the hurt and the tears and the pain all fall behind
You open up your eyes and up ahead there’s a big sun shining
Right then and there you realize, you’ll be alright

There’s a hope still burning
I can feel it rising through the night
And my world’s still turning
I can feel Your love here by my side

You’re my hope
You’re the light I still see it
Your hands are holding me
Even when I don’t believe
Oh, I’ve got to believe, I‘ve got to believe

I still have hope
You are my hope

 Singer/Songwriter: Danny Gokey (with Bernie Herms and Brett James Cornelius)

Danny Gokey performed on American Idol, Season Eight and finished in third place. Growing up in church, he did not want to go into Christian music…he wanted to do country.  After signing with his first record label and producing an album, he decided to change record labels and move to Christian music.

Gokey married his high school sweetheart who died just before he auditioned for American Idol. She had encouraged him to participate and, four weeks before the auditions, she died from complications after having surgery for a congenital heart condition. After completing the series, he began dating Leyicet Peralta, whom he married in 2012. 

Danny wrote and released Hope In Front Of Me in 2014.  He is inspiring those with his song to know that God is real. God loves no matter what.  When we are angry and shake our fists at Him, God is there.  He is ready to love us and see us through our difficult times.

I pray this song blesses you!
