Living Hope (Worship Song)

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 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   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   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   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   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!   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   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 Jesus Christ, my living hope Oh 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].
