Living Hope

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
