Living hope, music and lyrics by Phil Wickham. Cover by Bethel Worship.

Verse1
               A                E
How great the chasm that lay between us
              D   F#m              E
How high the mountain I could not climb
         A                 E
In desperation I turned to Heaven
                D    E        A
And spoke Your name into the night

Verse2
                  D
Then through the darkness
              A
Your loving kindness
                  F#m           E
Tore through the shadows of my soul
              A
The work is finished
             E
The end is written
        D         E      A      F#m   D
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Verse3
           A                  E
Who could imagine so great a mercy
                  D     F#m
What heart could fathom
               E
Such boundless grace
            A
The God of angels
                  E
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

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

Verse4
               A                     E
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
            D   F#m        E
Your buried body began to breathe
            A                   E
Out of the silence the roaring Lion
              D           E        A        F#m
Declared the grave has no claim on me    (alt chord to stanza below)
       D            E     A
Jesus Yours is the victory

Lyrics


Verse1
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

Verse 3
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 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 4
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

Chinese Lyrics


Verse1
多大的裂缝 在祢我之间
多高的山崖 无法攀爬
在绝望之中 我抬头仰望
宣告祢名 入黑夜里

穿越黑暗中 祢永存慈爱
掀开遮掩我灵的幕
恩典已成就 结局已写下
主耶稣 我的盼望

Verse2
谁能够设想 这伟大怜悯
谁能够领略 无限恩典
永恒的君王 舍弃了荣耀
穿戴我罪 承受羞辱

十架已诉说 我已被赦免
万王之王称我属祂
荣美的救主 我永属于祢
主耶稣 我的盼望

Chorus
哈利路亚 赞美祂释放我心
哈利路亚 死亡失去了权柄
祢破碎所有枷锁
救赎就在祢名中
主耶稣 我的盼望

Verse3
到那日早晨 封密了应许
祢被葬身体 有了气息
在沉寂之中 咆哮的狮子
宣告坟墓不再辖制我
耶稣祢已全然得胜
