***** I delight in these weaknesses Not that I am deranged But because of my certain hope That when all is done, I will rise Rise to see no frailty in my Savior's reign ***** Never again will I see disease Not once will tears drop down my cheeks Never will I hear of bad news For in that holy mountain only good news exist News of exceeding joy unknown to this cruel world ***** So I cling to this hope in tears and anguish Holding tight on the promise of resurrection For my hope in Christ is sure And in him is unfading assurance That I may live in hope amidst danger ***** So I smile when I should cry I delight as this body fades away For only a little longer And I will see him come from the clouds And this is my delight; the joy of hope *****
