Stuart Townend - There Is A Hope

[@carrillomark1]

Not only is this fine musically, but it is fine theologically. we should never lose sight of our hope in Jesus Christ. We are saved by God, not some theory or program. The joy is that he is there for us now and is graciously preparing a place for us when we die and are with him forever. SDG

[@senzeniagere]

Amen

[@josephmachnaim4858]

We sang this during my wife's memorial service... so encouraging

[@sisili5328]

There is a hope that burns within my heart, That gives me strength for ev'ry passing day; a glimpse of glory now revealed in meager part, Yet drives all doubt away: I stand in Christ, with sins forgiv'n; and Christ in me, the hope of heav'n! My highest calling and my deepest joy, to make His will my home. There is a hope that lifts my weary head, A consolation strong against despair, That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit, I find the Savior there! Through present sufferings, future's fear, He whispers, "Courage!" in my ear. For I am safe in everlasting arms, And they will lead me home. There is a hope that stands the test of time, That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave, To see the matchless beauty of a day divine When I behold His face! When sufferings cease and sorrows die, and every longing satisfied, then joy unspeakable will flood my soul, For I am truly home.

[@nancyblockcolsky1387]

This song has brought me through some very tough times. I accompanied a choir singing it the semester my mother in law passed away. Sometimes when things are tough, I can only sing the first line: “There is a hope” before starting to weep. But the message carries me through. I’m sure other people feel this way as well, but at times I feel God sent this message just for me. Thanks for being willing vessels to bring this hope to people who truly need it!

[@geeskefortmann5220]

AMEN ....AN AMAZING SONG. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. WITH GOD ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. GOD GOES BEFORE ME. PRAISE MY SAVIOR.

[@polabevan1712]

What an inspirational song. My parents died of cancer and now my husband is being treated with Advanced prostrate cancer . My best friend s husband died of prostrate cancer 3 years ago and attended her daughter’s wedding without him last week. We need hope so much. Pola Bevan

to be truly home with Jesus...ah to be free of the sufferings of this world! The most we can do is live to share God's love with everyone who comes into contact with us and be faithful to Christ. This song is blessed!

[@SuperiorSoapnuts1]

Thank you, Stuart Townend, for allowing God to flow through you again and again in such beautiful songs of praise....words of praise to our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who alone is the hope for a lost and dying world.

[@patriciawebster4645]

[@polabevan1712]

When you have lost wonderful parents that cannot be replaced, this is beautiful. So sad is really reassured by beautiful songs.

[@profitandgive]

Timely reminder in a troubled world. This video was uploaded four years ago...but God and Jesus Christ surpass all passing of time. Thanking God today for believers like Stuart Townsend who serve to give others hope. Having hope is to have a positive mind picture of something you desire to see come to pass, seeing it as come to pass...before it physically does. God says this kind of believing WILL come to pass.

[@LisaRitzema]

I'm currently going through a really trying time and this song brings me back to where I need to be - in the heart of Jesus.

[@BookloverLBT]

Stuart Townend is like a beautiful refreshing breath of air in the contemporary Christian music scene. Not only are his melodies hauntingly beautiful, his lyrics are meaningful and theologically deep and Christ-centered. This is a change from the usual charismatic pop star singing repetitious phrases which throw everyone into a trance. Thank you, Stuart.

[@jeanettemorrison8716]

Well said - I so agree.

[@junglelahu8170]

I love all if his Morden hymns. ❤️❤️

[@davidcupples8715]

A song that points us so beautifully and powerfully to our great and unspeakable hope of the day when our light and monetary troubles are swallowed up by the eternal glory that will far outweigh them all and every tear shall be wiped from our eyes. A song that allows us to face the reality of our present pain and broken hearts but bathes them in the light of the coming glory of the day when we shall see His face and all will be well and all restored.

[@vishalSharma-ol9fl]

This is beautiful.

[@daffodils077]

Yes!

[@jamwithlini]

Dear Darwin, I have been fighting anxiety for some time too and I understand how you feel. I think that your searching of 'there is hope' is the first step towards overcoming your anxiety and depression. May it comfort you that God will always be there for us; He is the same yesterday, today and forever. May we cast our burdens on Him, and trust that things will be fine. Will pray for you. :)

[@stephenreynolds847]

Through Jesus Christ, all things are possible!

[@patriciadunning199]

I have just been recommended to listen to this lovely song. Praise God for the Hope that we have. What a wonderful God we have.

[@servinggod85]

I am amazed at how some are so gifted in putting such comforting words into music.

[@CarlHalling]

One of my favourite ever Christian songs; just wonderful...

[@williamweekes]

A BIG POWERFUL AND MIGHTY AMEN. PTL... HOSANNAH MASTER CHRIST JESUS. ONLY GOD IS AWESOME

[@samiskim]

I have had the privilege of seeing Stuart very recently and he sang this song - along with others. His talent and creativity humbles me - a gift from God.

[@ailsawilliams5317]

6:30am 22.12.23. The constant hope of Him, expressed through this song helped me after my husband's death 13 years ago and is now helping me as I journey with my daughter through separation from her husband of 15 years. Bless God for his constant and abiding presence.

[@lawrencelim2038]

My greatest joy that I am safe in everlasting arms, And they will lead me home. Thank you Jesus !

[@chrisoppong]

With wet eyes I breathed out "Praise God" at the end of the video. I bless God for the hope we indeed have in Jesus. Thanks for posting the video. It will bless many a heart. Thanks Chris

[@CarlHalling]

Last night at church, our worship group played this song, just before the preaching, and for a few seconds, I stood there as if in a trance, barely able to move, or for that matter see for tears. Never having heard it before, I was just numb, stunned; it touched me that much. What an unutterably lovely song this is. Some of the greatest music being written today is Christian music, that's what I think.

[@jonannin]

I have this song in an endless loop. I chanced on it this evening through the miraculous work of GOD at work in KZbin's algorithm suggesting what I would like. It found a way of reaching deep within at a time when all hope seems lost. It inspires me. It soothes me. It reassures me of the certainty of the hope I have in GOD through Christ. Thank you, Stuart Townend and your team. Thank you, KZbin (Google). Thank you, GOD. 🙏

[@Merryfingers]

I have only just returned from a concert by Stuart Townend. He sang this song, which was new to me - but I hope to hear it again and again. It is beautiful.

[@vaynedulag5087]

Christ, our hope, Glad I found this

[@hollpoll]

Truly the most moving song I have ever heard-the lyrics are the most profound and the melody simply beautiful I find myself lifted up every time I hear it. What hope we have indeed in Christ Stewart

[@voldicomrigeorge]

We're teaching this to the congregation on sunday. I'm just adoring it. Praise the LOrd.

[@junglelahu8170]

Thank the Lord and thank you for beautiful Hymn . Melody & words are so touch my heart. 💖🙏

[@artsong28]

Just when I thought nothing could move me more than "My God", I experience this. What a beautifully written, encouraging song...

Yes I love these heartfelt compositions Mr Townsend being one of my favourite composers and I hsve won my husband over to being his fan too glory to God

[@YUTB13579]

I translate this song into chinese (cantonese). 我 心 中 這 一 盼 望 在 點 燃, 賜 我 力 量 能 經 過 每 分 秒, 一 絲 榮 耀 顯 在 我 微 少 的 身 軀 驅 除 一 切 懷 疑; 在 基 督 內 罪 已 得 赦, 而 屬 天 盼 望 在 我 心, 我 最 深 喜 樂, 我 最 高 呼 召 是 祂 旨 意 成 全。 使 我 能 抬 頭 的 這 個 盼 望, 它 安 慰 我 縱 我 極 度 疲 憊; 當 世 界 正 以 最 深 陷 阱 來 坑 我, 救 贖 主 也 同 在; 現 今 所 受, 明 天 所 懼, 我 主 耳 語 叫 我 剛 強, 因 我 安 穩 在 主 永 久 雙 臂 必 領 我 回 天 家。 能 經 歷 時 間 試 煉 的 盼 望, 使 我 眼 逾 越 招 手 的 墳 塋; 當 我 見 祂 臉 面 我 也 見 每 一 天 是 神 聖 無 可 比; 當 苦 痛 歇 而 憂 傷 寧, 而 每 個 期 待 也 滿 足, 我 魂 間 喜 樂 是 無 比 滿 溢, 我 已 然 在 天 家。

Also carrillomark1 made a comment. His comment is pretty much correct and applicable, but my earlier comment was also to explain to him that he should also not lose sight of the importance of ensuring theological accuracy in songs.

@boondocks0789 Beloved Darwin, there is hope, GREAT HOPE!! It is found in and through a loving, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Darwin, I lifted you up to The Father this morning and I know in my heart you felt that. Jesus is there, Sweetie...open up the door, let Him in and let Him restore your weary soul. His yoke is easy and His burden is light, I assure you! There is victory over anxiety, panic, depression, hopelessness...victory through This Man. His Name is Jesus Christ!

[@deterdettol]

So what I'm saying is I understand the meanings of their comments. It's not a pharisee doctrinal witch-hunt, but the practice of identifying who is adding and subtracting from the Word of God (Revelation 22:20, paraphrased).

[@deterdettol]

@humblebum75 I have absolutely no issue with the theology of the song. I am just explaining to ComeAsYouRvideo because he made an earlier comment calling some here "pharisees" becuase of comments made by other especially by SeekHisKingdom. I was explaining that SeekHisKingdom was right in the aspect that the theology of a song has to be correct and that everyone should know the importance of that.

[@davidcupples8715]
