    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

    Your loving kindness
    Tore through the shadows of my soul

    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
