Contemporary Christian pop/rock duo For King and Country is clearly craving something, and whether it’s Jesus or hope, we have the privilege of listening as they go about their journey. On their sophomore iTunes single, Hope is What We Crave, Joel and Luke Smallbone sing about hope – and how Jesus ultimately gave us that hope – and the song is a home run. From the brothers’ trademark two-part harmonies to the memorable chorus melody, Hope is What We Crave only serves to underscore the Smallbone brothers’ ever-evolving position in modern Contemporary Christian music.
HOPE IS WHAT WE CRAVE Lyrics
For King and Country
Hope sleeps without me
Her sweet dreams surround me,
But I’m left out
I’ll need a fix now
To believe, to feel
These rooms are dark now
These halls are hollow,
And so am I
She is hard to find now
To believe
To see
Hope is what we crave, and that will never change
So I stand and wait
I need a drop of grace to carry me today,
A simple song to say
It’s written on my soul:
Hope’s what we crave
I won’t turn to dust now
Let these tears rust now on my face
Give me the spark now
To believe
To see
Hope is what we crave, and that will never change
So I stand and wait
I need a drop of grace to carry me today,
A simple song to say
It’s written on my soul:
Hope’s what we crave
To live, to die,
To lose, to get,
To rise above
To love again
To live, to die,
To lose, to get,
To rise above
To love again
To love again
Hope is what we crave, and that will never change
So I stand and wait
I need a drop of grace to carry me today,
A simple song to say
Hope is what we crave
I need a drop of grace
It’s written on my soul:
Hope’s what we crave
It’s written on my soul:
Hope’s what we crave
Hope’s what You gave
