Hope (Brighter Day)

Yeah
Jah, Mr. J, baby
Ahuh, yeah

In every situation you find yourself, remember, you are alive, so don't give up
The rain may fall, but it's only temporary, the sun will shine again, so I won't drown
Even if the whole world turns its back on you, and your own family abandons you
The Almighty says He watches over His children, so don't let your heart be troubled
The tears you cry, the pain you carry, everything you're going through
It may seem overwhelming, it may feel unbearable, but remember you are not alone
Our God has immense love for His children
The talk about Christians, it will come to an end one day

He prepared a table before me in the presence of my enemies, when I had no hope
He parted the sea and led me through, they couldn't stand in my way
If this God is alive, then on whom will your eyes be fixed?
Ancient of Days, the One and Only, the Living God stands on His own
Don't focus on the world
Your God is alive
The barren woman will conceive
Thirty years of delay will come to an end

People may praise you, but they did nothing to lift you up
In all things, remember to say, "Thank you, God"
Because the power of the Almighty will be revealed
Many trials will come your way, remember where you came from
We showed you a good path, but you turned your back
I will pray that you will be touched in the name of Jesus
Almighty God

The trials that will come, don't let them break you
Stand firm, and don't let your heart be troubled
The one who puts her trust in God
Everything works together for her good, and it ends well
The trials that will come, don't let them break you
Stand firm, and don't let your heart be troubled
The one who puts her trust in God
Everything works together for her good, and it ends well

You've been looking for someone
To take your sorrows all away
One to hold you tight and say
Everything's gonna be okay
Remember all the pain you've been through
The challenges you've faced
They won't last forever
Hold on to your faith

There will be a brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day
If God hasn't killed you, the enemy can't touch you
There will be a brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day
If God hasn't killed you, the enemy (yeah) can't touch you (yeah)

He said in His word that He will do His things in His own time
When His blessings come, they come in abundance
He stands in my heart, the drum beats for Him
Take it easy, take it slow
The money you're chasing is causing you pain
Someone woke up this morning and it was their last
Worldly possessions don't make a sinner know God
The money we desire, even Christians lack humility because of it

He says God is righteous and I don't lie
Evildoers, righteousness is that you live on
Pastors use worldly things to lure people to church
You built a house and bought a car, and you say no one understands you
It means that the world you came from, you came from there for a reason
The one who lives in wealth also lacks the joy of childbirth
What we do for God, do you think it's not yours?
Yours is like the many years you spent raising your child

You sent her to school, fed her, and took care of her
And when she grows up, she tells you, "Dad, you did nothing for me"
Ah, that's how we make God sad
Blessings come from the heart, not from your money
If Christians focus on what we have
It will please God, and He Himself will bless you
Almighty God

There will be a brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day
If God hasn't killed you, the enemy can't touch you
There will be a brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day
If God hasn't killed you, the enemy can't touch you, oh, oh

I know that as humans (as humans)
The world's troubles and challenges, and hardships, weigh us down
That's just how it is
But remember, this life is a battle
Ups and downs
If you're alive, you have something
And always, keep hope alive

The trials that will come, don't let them break you
Stand firm, and don't let your heart be troubled
The one who puts her trust in God
Everything works together for her good, and it ends well
The trials that will come, don't let them break you
Stand firm, and don't let your heart be troubled
The one who puts her trust in God
Everything works together for her good, and it ends well

You've been looking for someone
To take your sorrows all away
One to hold you tight and say
Everything's gonna be okay
Remember all the pain you've been through
The challenges you've faced
They won't last forever
Hold on to your faith

There will be a brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day
If God hasn't killed you, the enemy can't touch you
There will be a brighter day
Brighter day
Brighter day
If God hasn't killed you, the enemy can't touch you, oh, oh
