It's a hope we find so thrilling, we want the world to hear. But at times this life's Anxieties are the cause of fears within. And the Hope that burned so Brightly has suddenly grown dim. You're Our Strength, Our Hope, Our Confidence, whatever we lack you supply. When we Preach, when we teach we have Confidence because it's on you we rely. So Jehovah, please instill in us a Heart that won’t forget. For you've always been our comfort when trouble times we've met. And these thoughts that lift and Strength us, can revive that dying flame. For they fill our Hearts with Courage to speak about your name. You're Our Strength, Our Hope, Our Confidence, whatever we lack you supply. When we Preach, when we teach we have Confidence because it's on you we rely. http://webcast.funeralvue.com/events/viewer/74022/hash:0CE68352BF622D36
