This Hope (for Donna) Lyrics

Blessed is the man who endures temptation. He is fashioned in the fire as iron sharpens iron

He will be as the light and grow in God's sight To answer the call, to protect us one and all

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, steadfast and sure

Steadfast and sure

Blessed is the woman who endures temptation

She will stand as a tower of strength

She will lead by example, humbly kneel and pray

And shepherd all in need along the way

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, steadfast and sure

Steadfast and sure

Blessed is the child out there in the wild

Their protection is the Spirit of fire

They will flourish as they grow, as they're filled and come to know

Amazing grace from the King brings you higher

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, steadfast and sure

Steadfast and sure

We are the people who grace this earth

From conception to birth and beyond, we have worth

By the passion of the Son we are sanctified, we are justified, we are glorified

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, steadfast and sure

We have this hope

Steadfast and sure, we have this hope

Steadfast and sure, we have this hope
