"My Hope is Hard to Kill" lyrics
Reconcile & KB Lyrics
Wanna break me down and drag me by my feet
Tried to break my soul and bring me to my knees
I can hear your voice every time I hit my knees
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
I been down bad, had the world up on my shoulders
Bruised and broken, prayin' up to God, only thing that kept me hopin'
Demons on my back, but I ain't fold, I ain't crack
I got Christ holdin' me intact, dats facts
Faith ain't never failed me, when the world did
Walkin' through the valley, with Christ, even if nobody in the world is
Back in them days, we used to stress bout every loss
Couldn't see the future, whole life lined in that chalk
They tried to doubt me, smile in my face but move shifty
Now they actin' like they was wit' me, that don't sit wit' me
Struggle in my veins, I was born into them trenches
But Jesus broke them chains, gave me hope and gave me vision
Had the devil on my neck, but he couldn't take my soul
Faith too strong to crumble, times I lost control
Played my cards better than most, held 'em close, some fold
Fought the lows, demons and the ghosts
Asked God why the pain last so long, cut so deep
He said, "Son, I'm tryna change you, this climb ain't for the weak."
Had them nights we couldn't eat, lights out, no heat
But His word made me strong, made a soldier outta me
Got me standin' on my feet
Wanna break me down and drag me by my feet
Tried to break my soul and bring me to my knees
I can hear your voice every time I hit my knees
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
I am from the bottom where they leave
But that is where Your promise came to me
Forever I am grateful for the Southside
That's Nazareth, on that side it's Lazarus
It's roads to Damascus, yeah
Not far from it, the fatherless, not fatherless
For my Father is a ghetto child, and I'm all of it
For God, the kids hold on to Him
Pray for me, stay with me
Wait on me, there's a place for me
There is safe for me
If He's on the throne, hope is overgrown
So let 'em let us, let us down
They see us sit upon the ground
We the ones they would step around
When nobody came out
The Son of God is comin' down
Head is still to the clouds
If I'm breathin'
Then I'll make it out, I'll make it out
Wanna break me down and drag me by my feet
Tried to break my soul and bring me to my knees
I can hear Your voice every time I hit my knees
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
Tried to break my soul and bring me to my knees
I can hear your voice every time I hit my knees
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
I been down bad, had the world up on my shoulders
Bruised and broken, prayin' up to God, only thing that kept me hopin'
Demons on my back, but I ain't fold, I ain't crack
I got Christ holdin' me intact, dats facts
Faith ain't never failed me, when the world did
Walkin' through the valley, with Christ, even if nobody in the world is
Back in them days, we used to stress bout every loss
Couldn't see the future, whole life lined in that chalk

My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
My hope is hard to kill
