acres of hope

This is a song that is on Shane & Shane's album Clean. I thought you might enjoy another example of how Christ has wooed us, His bride.
-----
he will allure her
he will pursue her
and call her out
to wilderness with flowers in His hand
she is responding
beat up and hurting
deserving death
but offerings of life are found instead

she will sing
she will sing
oh, to You
she will sing as in the days of youth
as You lead her away
to valleys low
to acres of hope
acres of hope

here in the valley
walk close beside me
don't look back
for love is growing vineyards up ahead
you have called me master
and though you're in the dark here
call me friend
and call me lover and marry me for good

she will sing
she will sing
oh, to You
she will sing as in the days of youth
as You lead her away
to valleys low
to acres of hope
acres of hope

how the story ends is
love and tenderness in Him
not safe, but worth it
so the valley�s up ahead
or the ones we live
we'll sing together
we'll sing together

we will sing
we will singo
oh, to You
we will sing as in the days of youth
as You lead us away
to valleys low
to acres of hope
acres of hope
