Hope & Sorrow Lyrics by Wilder Adkins

Hope & Sorrow

2016

[Verse 1]
Your water moves, it ebbs and flows
It burns like fire in my soul
It shakes in ways I can't control
And can't even explain
Oh the love of God is deep and wide
The heart of God, beauty defined
The love of man's a fickle tide
Why do you love us so?
[Chorus]
Oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
[Verse 2]
I wish I knew my father well
Maybe one day we'll sit a spell
Stare deep into that holy well
Of eyes so blue and gray
Your demons are the same as mine
And in choosing words you take your time
You are a poem that doesn’t rhyme
It is beautiful that way
[Chorus]
Oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
[Verse 3]
My brother is a lonesome man
On whom the shadows did descend
But brother, I will be your Samaritan
Oh I would walk through fire for you
The sky may fall, the earth may quake
The rafters and the walls may shake
But it's the little things which separate
A brother from his own
[Outro]
And oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
And oh, my word
How bittersweet this life
With hope and sorrow
Intertwined
