When this life of trials tests my faith, I set my hope on Jesus
When the questions come and doubts remain, I set my hope on Jesus
For the deepest wounds that time won't heal, there's a joy that runs still deeper
There's a truth that's more than all I feel, I set my hope on Jesus
I set my hope on Jesus, my rock, my only trust
Who set His heart upon me first, I set my hope on Jesus
Though I falter in this war with sin, I set my hope on Jesus
When I fail the fight and sink within, I set my hope on Jesus
Though the shame would drown me in its sea
And I dread the waves of justice
I will cast my life on Calvary, I set my hope on Jesus
I set my hope on Jesus, my rock, my only trust
Who set His heart upon me first, I set my hope on Jesus
My Hope is on Jesus, Jesus
Though the world call me to leave my Lord, I set my hope on Jesus
Though it offer all its vain rewards, I set my hope on Jesus
Though this heart of mine is prone to stray, give me grace enough to finish
'Till I worship on that final day, I set my hope on Jesus
I set my hope on Jesus, my rock, my only trust
Who set His heart upon me first, I set my hope on Jesus
I set my hope on Jesus, my rock, my only trust
Who set His heart upon me first, I set my hope on Jesus
I set my hope on Jesus
