The guilty weight of all I’ve done,
Hangs like a stone upon my shoulder;
I’ve lost more battles than I’ve won.
And bit by bit my heart’s grown colder.
But still there’s mercy left for me,
For in the cross of Jesus Christ I see.
A place where hope is still alive,
Where love remains for me unshaken,
The cross where Jesus bled and died,
Where grace was freely given,
A place where hope is still alive.
And when life’s struggle closes in, and
leaves me lost alone and hurting.
I found my hope renewed again,
Though I could never be deserving.
For Jesus’ love for me was blind now at the foot of Calv’ry’s cross I find…
A place where hope is still alive,
Where love remains for me unshaken,
The cross where Jesus bled and died,
Where grace was freely given,
A place where hope is still alive.
Coda:
My hope is sure, my faith secure,
I pray the world will somehow see,
see in me…
A place where hope is still alive,
Where love remains for me unshaken,
The cross where Jesus bled and died,
Where grace was freely given,
A place where hope is still alive.
The cross where hope is still alive!
