Hope for the world
This song asks questions about issues in the world of poverty,
sickness and violence and talks about Jesus being the ‘hope for the world’
The first verse asks questions about world issues - war, poverty, injustice
The second verse asks who will address the issues
The third verse is a personal response saying 'I will' do something about it
The chorus is in two parts with a responsive counter section
The mood of the music captures the feel of the lyrics of the song
below are the lyrics to 'Hope for the world'
When will there
be peace on Earth When will nations end their wars
When will people learn to live in love
When will hunger be no more When will water flow for all
When will there be justice for the poor
Hope for the world has come (God sent his son to earth )
Hope for the world has come (To live as one of us)
Hope for the world has come (God sent his son to earth)
Hope for the world has come (To live as one of us)
Who will give the lost a home Who will shelter those who fear
Who will show that someone really cares
Who will heal the scars of time Who will wipe away the tears
Who will give each person's life its worth
I will stand for what is right I will choose to live in love
I will care for people in their need
I will stand for what is right I will choose to live in love
I will value life that God has made
