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
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
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
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
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
One who set me free

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
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
