Whispering Hope

Soft as the voice of an angel, breathing a lesson unheard Hope with a gentle persuasion whispers her comforting word Wait till the darkness is over, wait till the tempest is gone Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, after the shower is gone Whispering hope (whispering hope) whispering hope Oh how welcome thy voice (how welcome thy voice) Making my heart (making my heart) making my heart in its sorrow rejoice Whispering hope (whispering hope) whispering hope Oh how welcome thy voice (how welcome thy voice) Making my heart (making my heart) making my heart in its sorrow rejoice (in its sorrow rejoice) For 30 year, I've lived next door to this little black church And every winter night In every sun in morning that I'm home I sneak up in the wood above my house And listening to them say Boy you talk about the lesson I just love to hear them say Hey you come up my brother nail Hey what'cha you doing? What are you doing out here? Well I just came to listen to you sing
