Hope Has A Name

Lifepoint Worship keeps its central claim to a single short sentence repeated at the heart of "Hope Has A Name" — "hope has a name, His name is Jesus, my Savior's cross has set this sinner free." The title itself is the whole argument, stated plainly rather than built up to slowly.

"There is a light, salvation's flame, Christ undefeated, trampled the grave" pairs two images — fire and victory — describing the same resurrection. "See now the cross, be lifted high, the light has come, the light has won, behold the Christ" keeps the imperative direct, asking the listener to look rather than simply agree.

"There'll be a day my hope complete, now home in glory, Your face I'll see, my pain no more, my fear will cease" closes the song by extending present hope into a specific future scene, and "I bow my life, I fix my eyes, on Christ my King" repeats twice as the song's final, settled posture.
