Real Hope
[Verse 1]
Was a real birth
In a real stable
In a real dusty, Judean town
And a real mother
Nursed her precious baby
And a bunch of wide-eyed shepherds gathered 'round

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Real angels sang "Glory"
Real hope was born that day

[Chorus]
I bet all I have on Jesus
I will throw myself on Him
The one who died a real death for real sin
I bet all I have on Jesus
Throughout eternity
I will marvel at the real hope my Saviour won for me

[Verse 2]
Was a real life
He had real friends
He walked shoulder to shoulder with the lost
He wept real tears
For the fallen ones
And he anguished over sin's dreadful cost
[Pre-Chorus 2]
On a real cross cried "forgive them"
As his real life drained away

[Chorus]
I bet all I have on Jesus
I will throw myself on Him
For the one who died a real death for real sin
I bet all I have on Jesus
Throughout eternity
I will marvel at the real hope my Saviour won for me (Ooh...)

[Verse 3]
I have real fears
Do real sin
And I hurt the ones I cherish and adore
The real mercy
Of the true God
Sees the filthy, fallen, purchased and restored

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I cry "My God oh fill me
With a heart completely yours"

[Chorus]
I bet all I have on Jesus
I will throw myself on Him
For the one who died a real death for real sin
I bet all I have on Jesus
Throughout eternity
I will marvel at the real hope my Saviour won
I will marvel at the real hope my Saviour won for me
My saviour won for me
