In This Hope Lyrics

I consider that our present sufferings
Are not worth comparing
With the glory that will be
Revealed in us

For the creation waits in eager expectation
For the children of God to be revealed
For the creation was subjected to frustration
Not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it

In hope that the creation itself
Will be liberated from its bondage to decay

We know that the whole creation
Has been groaning
As in the pains of childbirth
Right up to the present time

We ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit
Groan inwardly as we wait eagerly
For our adoption to sonship
The redemption of our bodies

For in this hope we were saved
