Only Hope

Great song by Switchfoot.I've always loved this song, especially when performed live with just an acoustic guitar. This is a cool version of the song with acoustic guitar, and a cello. Great sound.

I thought of this song again during all of this political mumbo jumbo. My brother Matt made a good point in his on blog HERE. He said that ultimately the president is not in control, and neither is anyone else in our government. God is the one in control. I think this song paints a great picture of that concept. God is our Only Hope. He's the one and only that guide us on our path.

Check out the video, and you can read the lyrics as you watch.

Enjoy!!




There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write
Over and over again
I'm awake and in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and
Over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

Sing to me of the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
And laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have
For me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

I give You my apathy
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
And pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope
