From the Beyond the Veil album

lyrics

Verse 1:
Lisa is a pretty seventeen-year-old
So full of ambition and dreams
But her carefree life was suddenly altered
With a baby due in the spring
All of her shattered dreams
And the hurt on her parent's face
Cut right to the bone she felt so alone
She's looking for some kind of escape

Chorus:
And Jesus sees her and wants her to know
No matter what's happened He loves her so
To the one who is dangling at the end of their rope
He's the God of hope

Verse 2;
On Tuesday she had an appointment at one
At the clinic down by her school
So many voices, well-meaning advice
Convinced that she'd be a fool
To bring into this world
Another unwanted mistake
But the God who knows her is waiting to show her
The difference one life can make

Chorus:
And Jesus sees her and wants her to know
No matter what's happened He loves her so
To the one who is dangling at the end of their rope
He's the God of hope

Bridge:
There is no mistake that His love cannot redeem
There is no point so far that His mercy cannot reach

Verse 3:
The decision was made and there's no turning back
She lives with her choice every day
But when those tiny fingers cling tightly to hers
She wouldn't have it any other way
Her heart filled with joy
The darkness turned to light
She is so grateful to the One so faithful
The Author and Giver of life

Chorus:
And Jesus sees us all and wants us to know
No matter what's happened He loves us so
To the one who is dangling at the end of their rope
He's the God of hope
He's the God of hope
He's the God of hope
