Sanctus Real - Hope Begins Lyrics

The picture in the book had 'em smiling with halos on their heads Sitting in a stable Their eyes up to the skies, a light was shining down on them But this was no fable

They were fighting for a life, on a dark and desperate night 'Cause there was no room at the inn In the middle of the fight, as Mary starts to cry Joseph was left wondering

If this is where our hope begins Hallelujah, a baby's cries pierce the night This is where our hope begins Hallelujah, he's come to earth to give us light

So if you're broken down and beaten to the floor Just remember you're the one he came here for This is where our hope begins

There was no silent night, nothing peaceful 'bout that Christmas day There in the stable Through the sweat and through the fear, in the hurting and the tears, he came And he was able

To open up our eyes, to fill our hearts with light Showing us our father's plan In the middle of the night, when we have no strength to fight Sometimes it's hard for us to understand

This is where our hope begins Hallelujah, a baby's cries pierce the night This is where our hope begins Hallelujah, he's come to earth to give us light

So if you're broken down and beaten on the floor Just remember you're the one he came here for This is where your hope begins

In the hardship, when you're broken This is where your hope begins When you're weary, your prayers unspoken

The picture in the book had him smiling with a halo on his head His eyes up to the skies, a light was shining down on him But if we could really see how he looked upon that tree The nails driven through his hands

In the middle of the storm, his body wrecked and torn Sometimes it's hard for us to understand

This is where our hope begins, hallelujah Our savior's cries pierced the night This is where our hope begins, hallelujah He came to earth to give his life

So if you're broken down and beaten on the floor Just remember you're the one he came here for So if you're broken down and beaten on the floor This is where your hope begins
