THE LIVING HOPE by Rachel Mac

VERSE 1
Everybody needs love and forgiving,
Everybody needs peace and understanding,
Everybody needs trust and befriending,
Everybody needs hope and that be never-ending

PRE-CHORUS
And He gives it to us, Jesus gives it to us,
The strength within us, is greater than we think
And He gives it to us, Jesus gives it to us,
So stay strong and believe in (the Living Hope…)

CHORUS
The Living Hope, a hope to set you free
And I can feel it rising, deep inside of me
It’s the living hope, it’s all that I need
I rise up upon the living hope

VERSE 2
Everybody has days that are more than trying,
Everybody has times when they feel like crying,
Everybody has wounds and they all need healing,
Everybody needs hope it’s more than a feeling

PRE-CHORUS
And He gives it to us, Jesus gives it to us,
The strength within us, is greater than we think
And He gives it to us, Jesus gives it to us,
So stay strong and believe in (the Living Hope…)

CHORUS
The Living Hope, a hope to set you free
And I can feel it rising, deep inside of me
It’s the living hope, it’s all that I need and
I rise up upon the living hope

BRIDGE
And there’s only so much that I can do by myself,
There’s only so much of this that I can take
And I need to call His name.
I know He’s here, I know He’s near,
I know He’ll see this through with me, YEAH!

INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE
And there’s only so much that I can do by myself,
And there’s only so much of this that I can take
And I need to call His name.
I know He’s here, I know He’s near,
I know He’ll see this through with me,

CHORUS
With The Living Hope, a hope to set you free
And I can feel it rising, deep inside of me
It’s the living hope, it’s all that I need
And I rise up upon the living hope

CODA
So lift your hands, lift your hands up to the Lord,
Raise your hearts to Him, in the Living Hope
And you will rise up, you’ll rise up to your feet,
And you will rise up upon the Living Hope!
You will rise up upon the Living Hope!
You will rise up upon the Living Hope!
