I can be glad for my hope is in the lord 'cause he gives a confidence that this world doesn't know He's the lord of all creation and whatever the situation I'm glad for my hope is in the lord Oh right from the beginning, god made me for his own So he replaced my weak foundation And made himself the cornerstone When all was ready and in order He promised every day and hour He'd be faithful to sustain me by his mighty power I can be glad for my hope is in the lord 'cause he gives a confidence that this world doesn't know He's the lord of all creation And whatever the situation I'm glad for my hope is in the lord Well if i land in prison for calling on god's name He will cause the walls to crumble under the fervor of my praise For the cause of christ i've chosen to suffer death To prove my stand, i'll be ushered into glory Led by god's own hand Every mountain, every fortress Every word that is not his will pass away I can be glad for my hope is in the lord 'cause he gives a confidence that this world doesn't know He's the lord of all creation And whatever the situation I'm glad for my hope is in the lord I'm glad, so glad for my hope is in the lord My hope's built on nothing less Than jesus' blood and righteousness I'm glad, so glad I'm glad, so glad that my hope is in the lord
