I Set My Hope on Jesus

 

I Set My Hope on Jesus (Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing) 

 Matt Boswell, Matt Papa, Sing!

Verse 1

When this life of trials tests my faith,

I set my hope on Jesus.

When the questions come and doubts remain,

I set my hope on Jesus.

For the deepest wounds that time won't heal,

there's a joy that runs still deeper.

There's a truth that's more than all I feel;

I set my hope on Jesus.

Chorus

I set my hope on Jesus,

my rock, my only trust,

who set His heart upon me first;

I set my hope on Jesus.

Verse 2

Though I falter in this war with sin,

I set my hope on Jesus.

When I fail the fight and sink within,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Though the shame would drown me in its sea,

and I dread the waves of justice,

I will cast my life on Calvary;

I set my hope on Jesus.

Verse 3

Though the world call me to leave my Lord,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Though it offer all its vain rewards,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Though this heart of mine be prone to stray,

give me grace enough to finish.

Till I worship on that final day,

I set my hope on Jesus.

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing — Verse 3

Oh, to grace how great a debtor

daily I'm constrained to be!

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,

bind my wand'ring heart to Thee.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

prone to leave the God I love;

here's my heart, Lord,

take and seal it,

seal it for Thy courts above!
