I hang my every hope upon the Lord
and swing out on the promise of His name;
the God who saves His people from their sins
extending grace and justice just the same.

CHORUS
Lord who do I desire on earth but You?
And who in heaven, Lord, apart from You?
Nor height nor depth can keep me from Your love.
I set my joy upon the things above.
–
I wake to live my life in view of Christ
who lived in flesh, to do the Father’s plan.
I sleep to rise again in Jesus’ name
who slept His death to raise up sinful man
–
I pray believing everything I ask
Is heard in Christ despite my shaking trust.
I face the world in stubborn confidence
that though I fail, my God is always just.
–
I’ll follow You down every narrow path.
When sunlight fails and darkness veils in grey,
I’ll fight the fight, by grace I’ll run my course,
Until I rise in heaven’s glorious day.

CHORUS
Lord who do I desire on earth but You?
And who in heaven, Lord, apart from You?
Nor height nor depth can keep me from Your love.
I set my joy upon the things above.

I really like this, and would love to hear what music/ tune you have in mind for it. If I may offer a suggestion, it seems to me that perhaps another title for the hymn you might consider could be “On Things Above.” That’s sorta what the words “sing” to me as I read it. Just sayin’.

I usually write with a specific tune in mind just to make sure that it is singable to something. I was thinking the tune to “His Robes for Mine”. Obviously a new tune would be better though.
I agree, “On Things Above” does flow better. 🙂
