A E G   A   A E   A E   G


[Verse]

A               E                  G
Every step finds ground beneath my feet
           A                  E
I can't believe I've come this far
A                E                G
I've found out I'm so much more with you
         A               E
I've been found in who you are
G  
I've been feeling lately

         D
Your pierced skin has been stating
         A                  E
Everything you've wanted to say
         G
Your words are far above me
D                                A
Teach me how you love me like you do
        E
So I can love like you


[Chorus]

G
My soul clings to you
D                                    A E
My lips sing for you
G
My soul clings to you
D                                    A E
My lips sing for you



[Verse]
A            E           G
I am learning I can always stand
        A         E
When you strengthen me
A          E          G
I am held up by a single strand
         A                E
Stronger than I could ever be
G
I am lifting empty hands
D
Just to hold your holy hands
              A
There's meaning in your fingertips
        E
And purpose in your eyes
G
This is where I'm finding out
D
What this life is all about
           A         E
While sitting at your feet


[Chorus]

G
My soul clings to you
D                                   A E
My lips sing for you
G
My soul clings to you
D                                   A E
My lips sing for you
G
My soul clings to you
D                                   A E
My lips sing for you
G
My soul clings to you
D                                   A E
My lips sing for you

I believe


[Bridge]

G
This life can mean something
      D
We are intended Not left stranded
              A
We can comprehend this
                   E
We can be sure of ourselves

We can see
       G
And know where right we stand
              D
We can grow up strong (and brought along)
        A
To where we belong
          E
Leave the past on the shelf
       G
May we taste your words
       D
May we end our search
       A
May we know your love
       E
May we feel our worth

Hope is, hope is, hope is   


[Spoken individually then gradually overlaps one another]

Hope is knowing that there's something beyond the next horizon 
Hope is something that you can never give up 
Hope is knowing that heaven is better than this 
Something you can find within the good in this world 
Hope is having someone to love you despite all of your faults 
Hope is what transforms great thoughts into great actions 
I have hope because there is more to life than what I can touch and see
It reminds you that the earth is not a cold, dead place
Hope is my motivation 
It overcomes in justice
It overcomes fear 
It overcomes this fortune
It continually affirms that life, even in all of its sorrow is good 
It's knowing that you're not alone
Hope reaches out to me, even when I'm not reaching back 
I guess hope to me is picking up a guitar and singing songs 
Hope makes the grass green no matter what side of the fence I'm standing on 
Hope is knowing that I will live for eternity because of the decisions I have made here on Earth 
That every day is not only a chance to right wrongs; but make rights 
Hope changes the way we think and feel 
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tunes without the words 
I find hope when I'm encouraged a friend or loved one
When I wake up in the morning and feel like I can't go on 
Hope is what gives me strength when the challenges I have to make seem too big for me to handle
Hope defeats the impossiblE
Hope is the beauty knowing that the world can be changed and that I can make it happen 
Hope allows you not to be afraid of the space between your dreams the reality 
I know that whatever happens and wherever I am, I will trust in my god 
The sunrises and the sunsets on the ocean, hope is in the rain 
Hope is always there
Hope is seeing the good in the hearts of those around you even if they let you down 
Hope is that one person's words can re-define one life and a whole generation 
Hope brings meaning beyond all our understanding and it shows us of a better tomorrow 
Hope gives me the passion to pursue my dreams 
I find hope knowing that each day is just a gift I've been given 
Hope is knowing that I can love someone more than myself, it's not easy,
But it's gotta be possible, you told me that,
And you wont let me forget it, you remind me everyday 
All it takes is an ounce of hope to get you through anything 
It's being in tune with the song    you know, the one we're all trying to sing?
I guess hope is knowing that someone loves me
Hope is hearing your voice
Hope compels my heart to sing when all around me is silent 
Hope is closing my eyes and realizing that there's something bigger than me,
And opening my eyes and seeing friends, family 
I love you, I believe in you, and know that your dreams will come true
Hope is that ray of sunshine that always seems to break it's way through the clouds 
Hope takes my next step forward when I feel like there's no reason to go on 
I've always wanted to be great, but often been unsure if I would ever reach that 
Hope is the motivation behind the smile on my face
Without hope, I'm hopeless 
Forgive all, because all is forgiven 
Hope is knowing that there's someone who loves you, no matter what you do 
Hope gives us courage to reach our goals 
Hope is always therE
Hope is all we havE
My hope is you 


It goes like this in the intro:

E|------------------0--3| 4---|
B|----------------------|----|
G|---------------2------|----|
D|----------------------|----|
A|----------------------|----|
E|----------------------|----|

Then like this in the verses but NOT in the chorus or bridgE It matches the spoken part,
With an occasional G# thrown in (the 4 on the high e is a G#)


E|---0--3--------0--5---|
B|---------0-----------3|
G|2-----------2---------|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|
