City of Hope

Once we were a barren land
Dry from disappointment
But heaven like a heavy rain
Revealed your heart for us
Now we're dusting off our instruments
In you we found our will to live
What was once a wilderness
Is seeming with new life
'Cause you are mending the broken-hearted
You are making all things new
And you're rebuilding out of the ruins
A city of hope with the ones you love
Adoption is our heritage
Chosen from the orphanage
The father's great inheritance
Bestowed upon us all
'Cause you are mending the broken-hearted
You are making all things new
And you're rebuilding out of the ruins
A city of hope with the ones you love
And we're the ones you love
We're the ones you love
We're the ones you love
We're the ones you love
You're rebuilding out of the ruins
A city of hope with the ones you love (you love, you love, you love)
'Cause you are mending the broken-hearted
You are making all things new
You're rebuilding out of the ruins a city of hope with the ones you love
