Living Hope - The Stutzman Family

[Livingstones2020]

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.

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.

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.
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!​

This is a beautiful song of praise. Thank you for sharing.

This is a good one. I have never heard of this band before. If only they had this song released when I was a kid, cos I would have listened to this on CD on repeat in the 2000s. But hey, this is a good song for 2024. This reminds me of all the four Gospels, as the starts out discussing about our sins, how Jesus came down to save us, and then He died on the cross to bear our sins and rose again to save us. Very biblical song.
