Lyrics
For the grace of God that brings salvation
Has appeared to all
Teaching us to follow in His ways
Yeah, yeah
He's saved us not because of righteous things
That we have done
But because of His great mercy
We will wait
And as we wait
As we wait
For the blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Great God and Savior
The blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Jesus Christ
He's saved us not because of righteous things
That we have done
Because of His great mercy
We will wait
For the blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Great God and Savior
The blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Jesus
He gave Himself for us
To redeem us all for sin and chains
Purified for Himself a people
That are his very own
And as we wait
As we wait
For the blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Great God and Savior
The blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Jesus
For the blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Great God and Savior
The blessed hope
For the glorious appearing
Of our great God and Savior
Jesus Christ
Our great God and Savior
Great God and Savior
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Meaning & Inspiration
Blessed Hope draws its central language from the New Testament promise of salvation and the appearing of Jesus Christ. The opening lines emphasize grace as the source of salvation, while the repeated chorus looks forward to Christ with patient expectation. That hope is not presented as passive escape. The lyrics connect waiting with redemption, purification, and belonging to God as a people shaped for his purposes.
Titus 2:11-14 is echoed throughout the song, especially in its references to saving grace, the blessed hope, the glorious appearing, and Christ giving himself to redeem a people. The statement that salvation does not rest on righteous deeds also parallels Titus 3:4-7, where mercy and renewal are central. Together, these passages support the main contrast in the lyrics: human merit cannot secure salvation, but divine mercy gives a firm reason to wait for Jesus Christ in hope.
