As we read through the founding of the church and disciples' ministries on earth, we can see that times were hard. Facing persecution, ridicule, and even death, the disciples cling to the hope of Jesus and his return to help them overcome these difficult times. We can also have this hope through our difficulties. Jesus gives his Holy Spirit to those who believe and follow him. We can have strength to overcome trials knowing that God is with us. We also know that one day Jesus will return and those who follow him will be united with him. These songs and hymns show how we can persevere in difficulty by focusing on the hope we have in Jesus and that one day he will return.

Songs about gratitude reflect on our thankfulness and appreciation for what God does and continues to do. Our gratitude is our testimony that proclaims a personal Father, abundant in generosity, goodness, and grace. Here is a list of songs focusing on gratitude.
