Steven Curtis Chapman - Heartbeat Of Hope

I still remember the taste of my tears
The day I watched you drift away
And I remember, before you disappeared
I started hoping for the day
When I'd see your face
And look in your eyes
And feel your embrace
And we'd never say 'good-bye'

I can hear it in a baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
Everything the morning sky begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope

I am learning, I am learning as I go
Just how painful hope can be
The ache of yearning can never let you go
It has become a part of me
But through all the longing
Holding on and holding out
I'll keep holding to the one thing
I know I cannot live without

I can hear it in a baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
Everything the morning sky begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die

'Cause it's more than something I believe in
It's the song that makes me dance, when my feet refuse to move
It's the wind that parts the waters that I cannot get through

I can hear it in a baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
Everything the morning sky begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope
