i place my hope

the troubles of my heart they're tearing me apart

how i need your saving hand to grant me a new start

lonely and afraid

i call upon your name

save me from my enemies and cover all my shame

i will lift my eyes from this fragile life

for you will rescue me

you are my prince of peace

and i lift up my soul to you who makes things whole

oh

mercy love of old

in you i place my hope

i place my hope

so guide me in your truth

be my strong refuge

oh

forgive my doubting heart and lead me back to you

help me to believe

your love is all i need

even when the storm is strong you will provide for me

i will lift my eyes from this fragile life

for you will rescue me

you are my prince of peace

and i lift up my soul to you who makes things whole

oh

mercy love of old

in you i place my hope

i place my hope

i place my hope

even in my darkest place

there's a promise i will claim

those whose hope is in your grace

they will never be ashamed

i will lift my eyes from this fragile life

you will rescue me

you are my prince of peace

and i lift up my soul to you who makes things whole

oh

mercy love of old

in you i place my hope

i place my hope

i place my hope

i place my hope

in you i place my hope
