The Only Hope We Have - Mahalia Jackson

The only hope we have is in Christ Je----sus.

The only one to help us in this world of turmoil.

Though Satan’s foes oppress and our hearts seems distressed,

Oh, but we have this hope, and it’s in Je-----sus.

(Verse II)

The only hope we have is in Christ Je----sus.

The future is great, Lord, it’s this old, old world (?ly things).

But the future, it may come, with such a heavy weight,

Oh, oh but we have this hope, and it’s Je --, Yes----, Je--sus.

(Optional Verse III — The Lost Verse)

The strength we need is found in Christ our savior.

The one who cares enough to salve our soul’s grief.

Though we may suffer pain, and feel we haven’t any gain,

Oh, but we have this hope, and it’s in Je------sus.
