Hope Hiding There

"Whatever you do, don't look down."
That's all the advice they can give.
But you keep looking down,
'cause you think that's where everything is.

It's harder to see things can change,
that night can be conquered at dawn.
'Cause the darkness you feel
is unbearably real
and strong.

It's just how it goes.
No matter what you do,
the way through the fog
has been hidden from view.

But around every corner,
though you're unaware,
protected by grace
in the face of despair,
there is hope hiding there.

You might think it strange
hope would hide.
It seems like a cowardly deed.
But it's saving its power
for your desperate hour
of need.

And all of that strength
and good it can do,
awaits being found
safe and sound,
just for you.

'Cause around every corner,
though you're unaware,
protected by grace
in the face of despair,
there is hope hiding there.

And ears cannot hear it
and eyes cannot see,
but hearts are drawn near it
if they choose to be.

Around every corner,
though you're unaware,
protected by grace
in the face of despair...

there is hope hiding there.
