Carolyn Arends Album: Travelers Track: What We Hope For
What We Hope For Lyrics
Words and music by Carolyn Arends and Connie Harrington I remember waiting up till it got dark Searching till I found the brightest star Making my wish with all my heart But we grow up and so do all our dreams Somehow without us even noticing We set our sights on lesser things Oh, to go back when we still believed
That what we hope for Is not too much to ask for And what we pray for Isn't nearly big enough 'Cause what we dream of Cannot compare to God's love And what He wants for us is so much more More than what we hope for
We start out so innocent and wise Before we cut the world down to our size We still have that wonder in our eyes So maybe that's why Jesus said to come With the faith we had when we were young Trusting in a world beyond this one Letting our imaginations run
'Cause what we hope for Is not too much to ask for And what we pray for Isn't nearly big enough What we dream of Cannot compare to God's love And what He wants for us is so much more More than what we hope for More than what we hope for
