Living Hope by Phil Wickham is a powerful song that tells the story of Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. It’s like a musical journey through the Bible, starting with the problems of humanity and ending with the amazing victory of Jesus. Wickham uses simple words and a strong melody to paint a picture of God’s love and forgiveness.
The song talks about how far away people were from God and how big the problems in the world were. But then it shifts to the incredible story of Jesus coming to earth, dying for our sins, and rising again. This part of the song is like a celebration of hope and new life.
“Living Hope” is more than just a song; it’s a reminder of God’s promise of eternal life. Wickham’s music helps us understand the deep meaning behind the Christian faith in a way that’s easy to grasp.

Living Hope Lyrics by Phil Wickham
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
