Love That Gives You Hope

This is a song I wrote after reading a book about a family’s experience with a daughter who had an eating disorder. While that was in mind when writing the song, the lyrics apply to anyone with a hurt, habit, or hangup. If you need help with something along those lines, check out a Celebrate Recovery at a church close to you.

Love That Gives You Hope
By: Andrew Allen

You are broken and you’re hurting
It’s so dark and you’re afraid of what’s to come
It’s unspoken but it’s certain
That there’s something wrong that haunts you deep inside

All the confusion and chaos screams at you
You wonder if you’ll ever know what to do
Well take a breath and hold on tight, it’s gonna be a hard fight
And just keep going till the darkness turns to light

The light of freedom, unshackled and unchained and living free
So hold on and surrender to the Love that gives you hope eternally

There’ll be times where you want to give up
When everything just seems to drag you down
You might be scared feel like you’re stuck
With no end in sight and so much to overcome

All the confusion and chaos screams at you
You wonder if you’ll ever know what to do
Well take a breath and hold on tight, it’s gonna be a hard fight
And just keep going till the darkness turns to light

The light of freedom, unshackled and unchained and living free
So hold on and surrender to the Love that gives you hope eternally
