Kirk Franklin & Davido – Hope In You Lyrics
[Kirk Franklin’s Verse]
I find myself lying to myself more and more
I’m so confused, what do I do?
I do what’s wrong instead of right and every night
I’m back to You, with my back to You
These devils try to break me down (yeah)
And when I try to pray, can Heaven still hear what I say?
I lose hope
Hope in You
But I keep it to myself
‘Cause no one cares what you go through
But my hope is that You
That You see me for my heart
And You don’t judge me for my truth
Hope is You
[Pre-Chorus]
See us, free us
Love us, not judge us
We’re broken, Yah, we’re broken
Yah, come pull us through, hope is You
[Chorus]
Oh my, oh my, oh my, hope is in You
Oh my, oh my, oh my, hope is in You (huh)
Oh my, oh my, oh my, hope is in You
My hope is in You
[Davido’s Verse]
I give my all to You, I’m
Holding on to You, whenever
I struggle in my hustle, You’re my bubble
When I don’t know what to do
I’m, I’m looking to You
Make I no go enter one chance
Hallelujah meje meje
Oluwa ti Gbemi leke
I no fit o, fit to seke
I just want to kore dele
Hallelujah meje meje
Oluwa ti Gbemi leke
I no fit o, fit to seke
Make my people jere mi
[Chorus]
Oh my, oh my, oh my, hope is in You
Oh my, oh my, oh my, hope is in You
Oh my, oh my, oh my, hope is in You
My hope is in You
[Bridge]
Yah, Your people hurting
Yah, Your people dying
Can you hear us crying?
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my
Open up the heavens
Shower down Your blessings, You make life worth living
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my
