Living Hope – Bethel Music/ Phil Wickham

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

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
