Hope’s Anthem - William Matthews
Bethel Live
I've written the chords out in the key of G so if you play on capo 4 it will be the original key.
I've purposefully changed the F chord to a C in the chorus because I think it sounds better.
The proper chord is supposed to be an F though.
[Verse 1]
C G/B
He's awakening the hope in me
Am7 G/B
By calling forth my destiny
C G/B
He's breathing life into my soul
Am7 G/B
I will thirst for Him, and him alone
C G/B
He has come like the rain
Am7 G/B
That showers on the barren plain
C G/B
So my heart and tongue confess
Am7 G
Jesus Christ, the hope of man
[CHORUS]
G C
My hope is in you, God
Em Am7
I am steadfast, I will not be moved
G C
I'm anchored, never shaken
Em Am7
All my hope is in you
[BRIDGE]
G
He's bringing hope to the hopeless
C
And giving his heart to the broken
Em
And sharing his home with the orphan
Am7
He is the joy, He is my joy
G
He is the hope of the nations
C
The Father's heart we're embracing
Em
He is the song we're declaring
Am7
He is the joy, He is my joy
