Intro
E  A2  E  A2

Verse 1
             E                 Bsus
How great the chasm that lay between us
          A2      C#m7          Bsus 
How high the mountain I could not climb
        E               Bsus 
In desperation, I turned to heaven
           A2       Bsus       E  
and spoke Your name into the night
                E                  Bsus 
Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness
          C#m7                  B (add 4) 
tore through the shadows of my soul 
E                              Bsus
The work is finished, the end is written
    A         Bsus     E        A2 
Jesus Christ, my living hope 

Verse 2
             E                Bsus
Who could imagine so great a mercy
             A2   C#m7           Bsus 
What heart could fathom such boundless grace
            E                     Bsus 
The God of ages stepped down from glory
        A2      Bsus     E 
to wear my sin and bear my shame
                E             Bsus 
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
         C#m7                  B (add 4) 
The King of Kings calls me His own 
         E                     Bsus
Beautiful Savior, I’m Yours forever
     A         Bsus    E 
Jesus Christ, my living hope 

CHORUS 1
     A2 E               B              C#m7
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
     A2 E              B               C#m7 
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me 
           A2           E
You have broken every chain
            B           C#m7 
There’s salvation in Your name 
E  B    A2      Bsus B  E
Jesus Christ my living hope

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3
                E                     Bsus
Then came the morning that sealed the promise 
        A2   C#m             Bsus
Your buried body began to breathe
           E                Bsus 
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion  
            A2             Bsus    E
declared the grave has no claim on me 

(repeat)
                E                     Bsus
Then came the morning that sealed the promise 
        A2   C#m             Bsus
Your buried body began to breathe
           E                Bsus 
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion  
            A2       Bsus      C#m    E  
declared the grave has no claim on me 
       A2         E/B     B   E         E
Jesus Yours is the vic - to - ry      Whoa

Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me 
           A2           E
You have broken every chain
            B           C#m7 
There’s salvation in Your name

Jesus Christ my living hope
