Found My Hope Lyrics

Found My Hope:

[Verse 1]
When the noises are loud
And the chaos surrounds
When the battle has come
And the sun has gone down

[Chorus 1]
I will stand in Your presence
I'll stand in Your presence
I will stand in Your presence
My King
I will stand in Your presence
I’ll stand in Your presence
I will stand in Your presence
My King

[Verse 2]
And if I give up too soon
And take my eyes off of You
I know that love will endure
And lead me right back to You

[Chorus 2]
I will trust in Your presence
I'll trust in Your presence
I will trust in Your presence
My King
I will trust in Your presence
I'll trust in Your presence
I will trust in Your presence
My King

[Interlude]

[Bridge 1]
You won’t let me drown in my sea of doubt
When I stopped believing, You came running
You won't let me drown in my sea of doubt
When I stopped believing, You came running

[Bridge 2]
I found my hope while I was sinking
You are my refuge, You are my freedom
I found my hope while I was sinking
You are my refuge, You are my freedom

[Chorus 3]
I am found in Your presence
I'm found in Your presence
I am found in Your presence
My King
I am found in Your presence
I'm found in Your presence
I am found in Your presence
My King, oh

[Bridge 2]
And I found my hope while I was sinking
You are my refuge, You are my freedom
And I found my hope while I was sinking
You are my refuge, You are my freedom

[Chorus 4]
We are found in Your presence
We're found in Your presence
We are found in Your presence
Our King
We are found in Your presence
We're found in Your presence
We are found in Your presence
Our King

Found My Hope Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration

Released on October 14, 2019, Nathan Taylor’s song "Found My Hope" arrives as a powerful declaration of faith, immediately setting a tone of resolute confidence discovered after a period of searching or struggle. The heart of the song captures that profound moment when a person shifts from relying on fleeting circumstances or their own limited strength to anchoring their trust in something unshakable. It speaks to a journey many understand deeply, where the weight of the world or personal trials can lead to despair, but finding hope isn't about mustering positivity; it's about locating its true source. This message aligns beautifully with the biblical understanding of hope, which isn't mere optimism but a confident expectation grounded in God's character and promises. Scripture frequently presents God as the ultimate source of enduring hope; Psalm 62:5 urges, "My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my hope is from Him," and Jeremiah 17:7 blesses the one "who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord." The song articulates this shift, moving away from a fragile, worldly hope towards the solid ground of faith.

The music itself supports this narrative arc; it carries a sense of weight and perhaps past tension that resolves into a clear, uplifting expression. This mirrors the transformative power described in Romans 5:5, where it says, "hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." The hope spoken of isn't dependent on outward circumstances improving, but on an inner reality shaped by God's presence. It’s the anchor the book of Hebrews speaks of in chapter 6, verse 19, calling it "a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner sanctuary behind the curtain." Nathan Taylor’s song gives voice to experiencing this anchor taking hold. Furthermore, the message resonates with passages depicting God as light breaking into darkness, such as Psalm 27:1, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" The transition within the song signifies moving out of that fear and into the light of His presence, having found the unfailing hope that is Christ Himself, who in Colossians 1:27 is called "Christ in you, the hope of glory." This song serves as a melodic testimony to that glorious reality, encouraging others who are searching to find their own hope in the one who is faithful and true, offering a powerful reminder of the stability found when faith finds its home in God.
