Scott Krippayne Days of Hope Lyrics

I was working on a list of mission trip songs, and although I found a video with this song, I couldn't find the lyrics online anywhere. I was first given a recording of this song on a mission trip while serving at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission.

Days of Hope
by Scott Krippayne

Verse 1:
In the corner there's a man
Who's been brought down by the bottle
On the cot there lies a lady black and blue
There's a man who's served his country
Just staring out the window
Broken and alone

Chorus:
When we serve
Is when we love
When we give
Then there's enough
When we reach out with the hands of Christ
These are the days of hope

Verse 2:
A blanket for the cold
An arm around the shoulder
A shelter in the middle of the storm
A simple cup of soup
A kind word for a stranger
An open heart
An open door

Chorus

Bridge:

When our gifts join together
We bring a better day
So let us partner
Let us pray

Chorus (x2)
