1. Walking in the gospel light that shines,
Careful as I go one step at a time,
Clinging to a pray’r and holding to hands that I can’t see,
List’ning for the master’s voice to say,
“Come a little higher to the land of day,”
Standing on the promises gives me confidence,
And I have hope, I have hope.
2. Well I heard about heaven and I want to go,
There’s nothing to keep me here below,
My eyes are fix’d on the mansions bright in glory land,
Now, if you want to make to the pearly gate,
Just turn to the right and keep a going straight,
When the journey ends we’ll meet again,
‘Cause i have hope, i have hope.
Chorus: I have hope that there’s a land that’s better,
I have hope where the soul is gone,
I have hope the sun shines brighter in that land,
Walking by faith I’ll reach my goal,
Over the hill I’ll see the lights of home,
Trusting in the promises gives me confidence,
I have hope.
