My Hope is Hard to Kill

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1: Reconcile]

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

[Chorus: Reconcile]

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

[Verse 2: KB]

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

[Chorus: Reconcile & KB]

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
