I place my hope in you
For you alone are Lord,
There could never be another
I could ever love more.

There’s no one that comes closer
To you in my life,
For you are my closest friend
In whom I can confide.

And share my deepest longings
My hurts and my fears,
Knowing you will understand
And wipe away my tears.

Knowing I can come to you
Morning, noon and night,
You will never turn me away
But give ear to my plight.

And you will not condemn me
Nor judge what I say,
For you are full of constant love
And listen when I pray.

Your love was such that you died
My soul you came to save,
From certain eternal misery
Awaiting beyond the grave.

But now in you I can be sure
Of eternity with you,
Freed from pain and misery
With eternal joy too.
