SO HERE'S TO A PLACE....






SO HERE’S TO A PLACE

Laura Drane © 2008 (Sanctus1, Manchester)

Where the grass is always greener

Where there’s light at the end of the tunnel

Where we give peace a chance

Where hope springs eternal

Where love conquers all

We wait in hope for the LORD

He is our help and our shield.

So here’s to a place…

Where we’ve got all the time in the world

Where every cloud does have a silver lining

Where we always look on the bright side of life

Where good things come to those that wait
Where we do to each other as we would be done by

We wait in hope for the LORD

He is our help and our shield.

So here’s to a place…

Where the road to hell isn’t paved with good intentions
Where good hearts aren’t hard to find

Where hope is not abandoned by those who enter there

Where nothing’s too good to be true

Where we don’t have to be cruel to be kind

We wait in hope for the LORD

He is our help and our shield.

So here’s to a place…

Where we don’t have to take the rough with the smooth

Where it’s not a jungle out there

Where we don’t see through rose tinted glasses

Where no-one has to put a good face on it

Where we don’t worry and are happy

We wait in hope for the LORD

He is our help and our shield.


So here’s hoping for…

Sight for the blind and healing for the sick

Freedom for the prisoners and good news for the poor

Release for the oppressed and love for each other

And the coming of God’s upside-down, inside-out, topsy-turvy kingdom.
