"Is there something in your eye that looks like anger

Is it loneliness that made you be that hard

Still the lights from that far shore

Seem to linger in the blood beneath those scars



And it's not easy to remember in the city

That there's Someone who's still lighting the stars

And that there's



Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven

No love that can touch you deeply as His

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives



I feel the wind cut through the alley just to slice you

Like a razor running down your veins

How the devil uses hatred to entice you

Don't play a losing hand in his game



Don't give up when all the others seem to mock you

Though you feel your spirit's starting to wane

Because there's



Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven

No love that can touch you deeply as His

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives



Nobody knows where and how much it hurts

Better than the One who's been there

Nobody's been there more than the Lord



And when all those aches say to quit

The answer's look up ahead

And you can't go back now

There's nothing to go back for



Is growth worth the growing pains

(I can't go back too much on the line)

But now that you're running

Look at the strength you've gained

(Look at the junk I've been able to leave behind)



None was worth it's weight

It tied me down too long

I've thrown it off

I won't take it back on

It back on

(Cause I'm doing it one better)

Leave behind the hate

(I'm going one up)

Hate did you no good

(I'm gonna leave behind the devil)

Wasn't worth it's weight

(I'm going to hang on to His love)



Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven

No love that can touch you deeply as His

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives



Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven

No love that can touch you deeply as His

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives



Nothing in this world shines brighter than the hope of heaven

No love that can touch you deeply as His

Nothing big enough to keep you down unless you let it

Nothing you can buy or sell that's good as what He freely gives "
