Intro

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Interlude

Verse 3

Who could imagine so great 
a mercy
What heart could fathom
such boundless grace
The God of ages stepped down 
from glory
To wear my sin and bear my 
shame

Verse 4

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

Chorus

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

Verse 5

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

Jesus, Yours is the victory

Living Hope - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]

Living Hope is a powerful song that speaks to the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

The lyrics also remind us of the mercy and grace of God, and how He stepped down from glory to bear our sins and shame. 

The Bible speaks to this in Romans 5:8 which says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse speaks to the mercy and grace of God, and how He was willing to die for us even when we were still sinners. 

The lyrics also remind us of the power of Jesus’ resurrection. The song speaks of the morning that sealed the promise, and how Jesus’ body began to breathe. This speaks to the power of Jesus’ resurrection, and how it was the ultimate victory over death. The Bible speaks to this in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 which says, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” This verse speaks to the power of Jesus’ resurrection, and how it gives us the ultimate victory over death. 

Living Hope is a powerful reminder of the mercy and grace of God, and the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection. May we never forget the great love of God, and the power of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
