Lyrics:
You know that hope is risky.
You wonder how you'll live
When shards of broken darkness make it hard to forgive.
Does He hear you weeping in the dark of night?
Does He know your grip is weak and you're giving up the fight;
You're giving up the fight?

But hope remains when darkness rises.
Hope remains though chains are strong.
Hope remains when hears are broken.
Hope remains because of the blood.
Hope remains.

Yet sweetest mercy finds me,
Though thru a darkened glass.
An inner fire burning I surrender at last.
Hopeful Father waiting for me to know His heart.
Awake, my soul, to trust Him 'til I see the Red Sea part,
I see the Red Sea part!

Hope remains when darkness rises.
Hope remains though chains are strong.
Hope remains when hears are broken.
Hope remains because of the blood.
Hope remains.

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Hope remains when darkness rises.
Hope remains though chains are strong.
Hope remains when hears are broken.
Hope remains because of the blood.
Hope remains.

My hope is built on nothing less;
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand!
Hope remains!
