River of Hope

I belong to you, Jesus
Oh the confidence it brings.
My life you have redeemed
My heart just wants to sing.

It doesn’t matter at all
Whatever I go through.
You call upon my name
So I can call upon you.

The rivers of difficulty
Often surround me,
But I am safe and sound
Because you know me personally.

The river of hope you give
Whenever I go through strife,
I can rest in your assurance.
You know the best for my life!

…Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.
When you go through the deep waters, I will be with you.
You will not drown. Isaiah 43:1,2
