My Faith Keeps My Hope Alive

M-y faith keeps my hope A-live and burning still; R-ainy night disappears, C-louds fade above the hill. I-n May thirtieth morn, A-nother dawn starts to shine; L-ong cold chill has passed, the weather looks so fine. F-aith keeps my hope alive, L-etting me be steadfast; O-nly the trust in the Lord R-eally makes the pain don't last. E-ven when I face the test of life that is trial-fraught; S-till strong in faith I am, no matter what war I've fought. A-live and burning hope S-till keeps me faithful; U-ntil the dark shadows drift, N-o reason to be doubtful. C-alling upon God's name I-s one thing I won't forget; O-nce I pray to the Lord, N-ew hope is far from fret.
