[Verse 1]
                 G                  Dsus
   How great the chasm that lay between us
                C2       Em7             Dsus
   How high the mountain     I could not climb
            G                  Dsus
   In desperation, I turned to heaven
                  C2     Dsus   G
   And spoke Your Name into the night
                    C2                    G
   Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
                     Em7           D
   Tore through the shadows of my soul
                G                   Dsus
   The work is finished, the end is written
          C          Dsus  G      C2
   Jesus Christ, my living hope
 
 
[Verse 2]
              G                 Dsus
   Who could imagine so great a mercy?
                     C2    Em7                Dsus
   What heart could fathom     such boundless grace?
               G                      Dsus
   The God of ages stepped down from glory
               C      Dsus     G
   To wear my sin and bear my shame
                 C2              G
   The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
                Em7               D
   The King of kings calls me His own
             G                    Dsus
   Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever
          C          Dsus  G
   Jesus Christ, my living hope
 
 
[Chorus]
        C  G              D               Em
   Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
        C  G              D               Em
   Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
            C             G                D              Em7
   You have broken every chain, there's salvation in Your Name!
   (1st Ending)  G/D   C2         Dsus  D   G
                 Jesus Christ, my liv - ing hope
   (2nd Ending)  G/D   C2         Dsus  D   Em    G/B
                 Jesus Christ, my liv - ing hope
 
 
[Verse 3]
                 G                       Dsus
   Then came the morning that sealed the promise
               C2    Em7         Dsus
   Your buried body     began to breathe
               G                   Dsus
   Out of the silence, the roaring Lion
   (1st Ending)                C            Dsus     G
                 Declared, The grave has no claim on Me!
   (2nd Ending)                C            Dsus     Em   G/B
                 Declared, The grave has no claim on Me!
                        C2           G/D   D    G
                 Jesus, Yours is the vic - to - ry!
 
 
[Outro]
          C2         Dsus  D   Em    G/B
    Jesus Christ, my liv - ing hope
       G/D      C2     Dsus  D   G
    Oh God, You are my liv - ing hope

Good and very simple!Great without a pick and light strumming. Good for a background guitar to add to the main guitar playing different chords. Love this overall! Really helped for better performances.

I appreciate the clean format without the repetitions of the chorus (etc), makes for a tidier personal playbook.
