Lyrics
Verse 1
When my heart is aching
And I can't see the way ahead
When the worry gets so heavy
And the night is closing in
I will lift my eyes
To where my help is always found
He has never failed me
And He won't fail me now
Chorus
My hope is in Jesus
My hope is in Jesus
The One who holds the world
Is holding on to me
I sing of His goodness
I stand on His promise
Now and forever
My hope is in Jesus
Verse 2
I won't put my hope
In all the riches of this world
'Cause all the riches of this world
Could never fill an empty soul
I won't put my hope
In any name but Jesus' name
He's the only one with power enough
To overcome the grave
Chorus
My hope is in Jesus
My hope is in Jesus
The One who holds the world
Is holding on to me
I sing of His goodness
I stand on His promise
Now and forever
My hope is in Jesus
Bridge
My Savior, Redeemer
My Father and Friend
Protector, Provider
His love never ends
My Healer, my Freedom
Forever, amen
Chorus
My hope is in Jesus
My hope is in Jesus
The One who holds the world
Is holding on to me
I sing of His goodness
I stand on His promise
Now and forever
My hope is in Jesus
Outro
When I'm finally home
In the presence of my King
This will be my anthem
For all eternity
My hope is in Jesus
My hope is in Jesus
The One who holds the world
Is holding on to me
I sing of His goodness
I stand on His promise
Now and forever
My hope is in Jesus
Now and forever
My hope is in Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
“My Hope Is In Jesus” centers on confidence that remains steady through anxiety, uncertainty, and loss. The opening verse moves from an aching heart and a closing night toward lifted eyes, presenting help as something found in God rather than in changing circumstances. Its chorus gathers that confession into a simple declaration: Jesus holds both the world and the person who trusts him. References to divine goodness and promise give that hope a firm object rather than treating optimism as an end in itself.
The second verse contrasts Christ with wealth and every competing name, then grounds his authority in victory over the grave. Psalm 121:1-2 is closely echoed when the singer lifts his eyes toward the source of help. Hebrews 6:19 also fits the central image by describing hope as an anchor for the soul. The bridge’s names for God—Savior, Redeemer, Father, Friend, Protector, Provider, and Healer—broaden the confession, while the outro carries it toward eternal worship in the King’s presence.
