Song Lyrics

"City of Hope"

by Jordan Lara (JL)
Album: City of Hope

Feat: Nena Mojarro

As I walk through Valley
Of the shadow of death
When it feels like our hope is gone
And I can't find rest
As I walk through the Valley
Of the shadow of death
When it feels like our hope is gone
And I can't find rest

Way down in the valley
Where the shadows grow
At the base of the mountain
So Sorrowful
Where the vultures gather
Where the sun don't glow
It's black and white
Where'd all the colors go'

Way down in the famine
Cries a hungry soul
The rejoicing has halted, Have mercy LORD
Entangled in sickness
The children are witness
Fragile inside, Is it benign or malignant'

I will learn to fly
If I only rely on you
I can mount upon eagles wings
If I wait upon the LORD

I will learn to fly
If I only rely on you
I can mount upon eagles wings
If I wait upon the LORD
If I wait upon the LORD
If I wait upon the LORD
If I wait upon the LORD

Take me, take me, take me
To the City of Hope
City of Hope
Take me, take me
To the City of Hope
Yeah
To the City of Hope

Way down in the dwelling
Where the cancer grows
Is the face of a monster
Trying to plague the soul
No respecter of persons
Not even a father
The book of diseases
The devil's the author

Way down in the shadows
Stood the gates of death
Where's the rivers of water'
Why the wilderness'
Soul's bound by affliction
Brought low through oppression
The wasteland is barren
Oh LORD of salvation

I will learn to fly
If I only rely on you
City of Hope
I will learn to fly
If I only rely on you
City of Hope

As I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
In you I have found rest
