Do Not Lose Heart
This is a broken world we’re living in
A world suffering the effects of our sin
Look at the world, the news – what do we see?
Look at your life, the pain – what do you see?
This is a broken world we’re living in
We are suffering the effects of our sin
We hope but we’re greatly disappointed
We love but we’re blatantly rejected
Should we stop hoping? Should we stop loving?
Should we stop giving? Should we stop caring?
Why hope when hoping only disappoints?
Why love those who hurt us? What is the point?
Why open your heart when others do not?
Why leave your love out in the air to rot?
Why leave your heart unsheltered from the rain?
Why love when loving only brings you pain?
Maybe this pain leads to a greater one
Maybe this sorrow compels us to run
To run to the cross where love never fails
To hope in Jesus Christ when storms assail
Though others fail us, we do not lose heart
For true love is found in Christ, our rampart
Who reconciled us to God, the Father
Who saved us and loves us like no other
