Hymn #1                                                                                            “Living Hope”                                                                     

How great the chasm that lay between, 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 lovingkindness tore through the shadows of my soul. The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope

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

Chorus

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.
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, whoa!

Chorus x2

Jesus Christ, my living hope
Oh God, you are my living hope.
