Living Hope Songtext
von Bethel Music

How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of angels stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame (the cross)
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I′m Yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope


Oh, hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me (yeah)
(Sing this out with me tonight)

Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe (come on)
And out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Oh, Jesus, Yours is the victory, oh-oh

And hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There′s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope (sing hallelujah)


Oh, hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Oh, Jesus Christ, my living hope

Oh, living hope
Yeah, He's our living hope
He′s our living hope, yeah
He′s our living hope
And I believe that
You're my living hope
Yeah, oh
You′re my living hope
You're my living hope
Yes, You are, yes, You are, Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
You are, You are, You are, You are
Emmanuel (oh-oh)

And hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There′s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Oh, Jesus Christ, my living hope
