Living Hope


 Verse 1

     A

How great the chasm

    E

that lay between us

     D   F#m

How high the mountain

    E

I could not climb

   A      E

In desperation, I turned to heaven

      D  E  A

And spoke Your name into the night

       D

Then through the darkness

    A

Your loving kindness

       F#m   E

Tore through the shadows of my soul

      A      E

The worked is finished, the end is written

   D   E A

Jesus Christ, my living hope


 Chorus

  D A     E      F#m

Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free

  D A     E     F#m

Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me

    D    A

You have broken every chain

     E    F#m

There's salvation in Your name

   D   E A

Jesus Christ, my living hope


 Verse 2

    A

Who could imagine

    E

so great a mercy?

       D F#m

What heart could fathom

      E

such boundless grace?

     A        E

The God of ages stepped down from glory

     D  E   A

To wear my sin and bear my shame

      D     A

The cross has spoken, I am forgiven

     F#m     E

The King of kings calls me His own

    A       E

Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever

   D   E A

Jesus Christ, my living hope


 Verse 3

      A

Then came the morning

      E

That sealed the promise

     D F#m E

Your buried body began to breath

    A       E

Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion

      D     E  A

1. Declared the grave has no claim on me

      D     E  F#m

2. Declared the grave has no claim on me

   D    E A

Jesus, Yours is the victory
