Summary

In this bonus episode of the Deep Dive, Calvary's Worship Leader, Caleb Carlson, joins Brad to deep dive the song Living Hope. It's often said that we "sing our theology." There's a reason that kids are taught things through song. God has gifted his church with songs to help us praise his name and to cultivate faith in us as we sing along with others. Check out this conversation for a bit more background on Living Hope and the impact that gospel-flow songs like this one have on the people of God as we come together to sing and worship Jesus. We hope it blesses you and allows you to sing it with even more meaning next time we gather. Lyrics   How great the chasm that lay between usHow high the mountain I could not climbIn desperation, I turned to heavenAnd spoke your name into the night Then through the darknessYour loving kindnessTore through the shadows of my soulThe work is finished, the end is writtenJesus 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 gloryTo wear my sin and bear my shame The cross has spoken, I am forgivenThe king of kings calls me His ownBeautiful savior, I'm yours foreverJesus Christ, my living hope   Hallelujah, praise the one who set me freeHallelujah, death has lost its grip on meYou have broken every chainThere's salvation in your nameJesus Christ, my living hope   Hallelujah, praise the one who set me freeHallelujah, death has lost its grip on meYou have broken every chainThere's salvation in your nameJesus Christ, my living hope   Then came the morning that sealed the promiseYour buried body began to breatheOut of the silence, the roaring lionDeclared the grave has no claim on me   Then came the morning that sealed the promiseYour buried body began to breatheOut of the silence, the roaring lionDeclared the grave has no claim on meJesus, yours is the victory, whoa!   Hallelujah, praise the one who set me freeHallelujah, death has lost its grip on meYou have broken every chainThere's salvation in your nameJesus Christ, my living hope   Hallelujah, praise the one who set me freeHallelujah, death has lost its grip on meYou have broken every chainThere's salvation in your nameJesus Christ, my living hope Jesus Christ, my living hopeOh God, you are my living hope   Songwriters: Brian Johnson / Phil Wickham   If there's any song or topic that you'd like to see featured in a future episode, email us at [email protected].
