lyrics

Oh Lord once more I place myself
Quiet and semi-conscious of my illness
For what I pray for this I pray
The peace of heart and mind
Found in your stillness
Where I am too loud
Solemn pride still holds me back
Set in a mould I cannot crack

So many things to face up to
The distances I culture stand between us
Long, drawn and cold
The petri dish of scavenged sin
Desiring in the end a touch of healing
So appealing

You looked at me with tears
You washed away my fears
With the promise of
Hope hospital
You know my every need
You let compassion bleed
I need the cure of your
Hope hospital

Oh Lord my understanding fails
A long, long time before it brings me near you
However I try
My soul is blinded for your light
A state of shock from breeding little evils
Which work on the sly

Let your presence pull
The body beautiful
Cross and crash into
Hope hospital
Riding demons too
Could want to tell the clue
That to Jesus is
Hope hospital

A greater love is in the world
A love with such capacity for knowing
Shadows of the secret dreams
Betray the presence of a spirit glowing
Knock on the door
To know I'll let you in
To quell the dancing din
Casualty back in
Hope hospital
And you I ask you how
Accept it simply now
All along in a Hope hospital

This soul an empty cup
This soul is offered up
For blood transfusion in
Hope hospital
The soul of all mankind
The blind that lead the blind
Cure confusion in
Hope hospital
Across the gap of time
Across the web of crime
Across the border to
Hope hospital
You are the cup of pain
You are the quenching rain
You are the body of
Hope hospital

Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
