Gospel Lyrics >> Song Title :: What We Hope For
Gospel Lyrics >> Song Artist :: Arends, Carolyn
Words and music by Carolyn Arends and Connie Harrington
I remember waiting up till it got dark
Searching till I found the brightest star
Making my wish with all my heart
But we grow up and so do all our dreams
Somehow without us even noticing
We set our sights on lesser things
Oh, to go back when we still believed
That what we hope for
Is not too much to ask for
And what we pray for
Isn't nearly big enough
'Cause what we dream of
Cannot compare to God's love
And what He wants for us is so much more
More than what we hope for
We start out so innocent and wise
Before we cut the world down to our size
We still have that wonder in our eyes
So maybe that's why Jesus said to come
With the faith we had when we were young
Trusting in a world beyond this one
Letting our imaginations run
'Cause what we hope for
Is not too much to ask for
And what we pray for
Isn't nearly big enough
What we dream of
Cannot compare to God's love
And what He wants for us is so much more
More than what we hope for
More than what we hope for
