'If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.'
John 8:36
I was chatting with someone in The Philippines and noticed she lived in a Provincial area called Esperanza. We didn't talk again after that fleeting conversation, but the name Esperanza really stuck in my mind. I later discovered that it's the Spanish word for hope and so I wrote this song, quoting one of my favourite verses John 8:36
lyrics
If the Son therefore shall make you free
you shall be free indeed
What then shall we do Brothers and Sisters?
If the Son therefore shall make you free
you shall be free indeed
So then walk in the light Brothers and Sisters
Esperanza
Esperanza
There is Hope
If the Son therefore shall make you free
you shall be free indeed
What then shall we do Brothers and Sisters?
If the Son therefore shall make you free
you shall be free indeed
So then walk in the light Brothers and Sisters
Esperanza
Esperanza
There is Hope
Someday
On a distant shore
I'll be far away
Far away
But until that Special day
I will cling to
The Blessed Hope
If the Son therefore shall make you free
you shall be free indeed
What then shall we say Brothers and Sisters?
Esperanza
Esperanza
There is Hope
Esperanza
Esperanza
There is Hope
