"Living Hope"
Sharing:
"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"
When I sing this chorus at church, an overwhelming sense of emotion fills my heart,
moving me to tears. In those moments, I experience a profound connection with the
divine—a feeling of being truly loved, protected, and understood by God. It is as if all
the injustices, hopelessness, and suffering of the world are acknowledged and
carried by a higher power. I invite you to join me in this transformative experience,
letting the power of this song touch your soul. May it evoke within you the same
profound emotions and bring you closer to the divine. May God's blessings be upon
each and every one of you!
Lyrics:
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
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 2
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
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 3
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
Living Hope
