Music to Encourage

We recently ran across the song “Our Hope Endures” by Christian artist Natalie Grant.

It’s as if it was written just for us, as even the lyrics say, “But our Hope endures the worst of conditions. It’s more than our optimism… How do we comprehend peace within pain? Or joy at a good man’s wake? Walk a mile with the woman whose body is racked With illness, oh how can she laugh?”

This is on the album Relentless.

You can listen to this song, and about 20 other songs we believe will encourage you and a few that may even get you up to dance around a bit.

“Our Hope Endures”

You would think only so much can go wrong
Calamity only strikes once
And you assume this one has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here
Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It’s more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged

How do we comprehend peace within pain?
Or joy at a good man’s wake?
Walk a mile with the woman whose body is racked
With illness, oh how can she laugh?
Oh, ’cause sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It’s more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged

Emmanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
We never walk alone
And this is our hope

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It’s more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged
