Hope Against Hope
A snippet of a new song about fixing our gaze upon Jesus when in the natural things don’t seem to be working in our favour. I began to sing the words after receiving disappointing news. The words relate to Abraham’s faith spoken of in Romans 4. His faith was accounted to him as righteousness:
Romans 4:18 “who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
