MY HOPE IS YOU.

Back out on the Make Your Move tour and the band have changed the set each night of the first four shows. Making a welcome return to the list is the song ‘My Hope Is You’ which has a special place in my heart! 

I first met Third Day way back in September 1998 when they were opening up for Newsboys and I was a speaker on the ‘Step Up To The Microphone’ tour. My first ever tour of the USA, first time speaking, and in front of large crowds-all quite daunting for a man from Cardiff, Wales. Not only did all the guys in Third Day make me very welcome, their music helped me prepare each night to walk on stage and encourage the audience to enrol for Teen Mania mission trips. Amongst all the Third Day songs I listened to, there were two that have become lifelong favourites- ‘Consuming Fire’ and ‘My Hope Is You’.  ‘Consuming Fire’ influenced me so much that the ministry I helped birth in the UK is called Ignite, and I went on the write my Master’s Degree Dissertation on ‘The Fire of God in the Bible’.

‘My Hope Is You’ hasn’t brought about such obvious fruit in my life, but has been massively significant as I travel and minister throughout the world. My US cell phone has the words ‘My Hope Is You’ as the screensaver, reminding me what my life, my future, my hope is built on. Psalm 25, on which Mac based the words of the song, has often been a go-to Psalm for me:

 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.

 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

I am glad these words are sung over our audiences each night. By the way, I'm really enjoying the privilege of speaking on behalf of World Vision each night and seeing many, many children get sponsored.
