City of Hope

Once we were a barren land Dry from disappointment But heaven like a heavy rain Revealed your heart for us Now we're dusting off our instruments In you we found our will to live What was once a wilderness Is seeming with new life 'Cause you are mending the broken-hearted You are making all things new And you're rebuilding out of the ruins A city of hope with the ones you love Adoption is our heritage Chosen from the orphanage The father's great inheritance Bestowed upon us all 'Cause you are mending the broken-hearted You are making all things new And you're rebuilding out of the ruins A city of hope with the ones you love And we're the ones you love We're the ones you love We're the ones you love We're the ones you love You're rebuilding out of the ruins A city of hope with the ones you love (you love, you love, you love) 'Cause you are mending the broken-hearted You are making all things new You're rebuilding out of the ruins a city of hope with the ones you love --- City of Hope - Amanda Lindsey Cook
