Hope of God
In loving memory of Ila Nadine Coble, January 8th, 2011
Ila Nadine Coble is a precious little four year old girl whose time on earth was too fleeting. Yet, the memory of her will forever be imprinted in the hearts of not only her parents, Dean and Theresa Coble, her big brother, Ivan, and extended family, but all those who had the privilege to meet this flamboyant, carefree, strong willed, yet very sensitive and loving child. more...
Lyrics
I see you trembling, I hear your pain,
I wish so much I could tame or explain these
Holy Fires of God
Through Tender Mercies, we're not consumed
A friend can only remind you of the
Tender Heart of God
Pre-Chorus
In every perfect storm, His Hope is born, (an anchor for your soul
It seems beyond your reach, way beyond your strength
So He lays it at your feet) (omit 2nd time)
Oh Step into, Let Him carry you, Oh Step into
the Hope of God
Your heart is broken, your faith is strong
there is a longing that nothing can fill but the
Love of God
He is our Portion, He is our Strength
He turns affliction and pain from
Glory to Glory, Glory
Chorus
So Gather the Angels Ila Nadine
Sing pretty songs of all that's unseen
Songs of Renewal, Faith, Hope, and Peace
oh Glory
Paint pretty pictures of Saints and their Crowns
of Jesus and Angels that fly upside down
Gather Heaven all around you
Have them taste your stone soup
Pre-Chorus (x2)
Chorus
Tag
Paint pretty pictures Ila Nadine
of Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green
from heaven to earth floating down
Tender Mercies, Tender Mercies, Tender Mercies
