Filled With Hope - Advent - Hope

 

From the stump of Jesse’s line
A shoot burst forth and grew,
As prophesied long years before.
His promise was proved true.
 
He is the way, the truth, the life
And His word does not fail.
Though darkness falls upon our lives
His Light and Grace prevail.
 
Though He’s the Lord of Israel,
He called the Gentiles, too,
And covered us in redemption,
As only He could do.
 
By this, our hearts are filled with hope
That we can hold onto.
Though we are lost in this dark world,
His Light will lead us through.
 
Romans 15:12
And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.”
