Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing Verse 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love. Verse 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I’m come; and I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood. Verse 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.

Living Hope Verse 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 Verse 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 Verse 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 Jesus Yours is the victory Brian Johnson, Phil Wickham © 2017 Phil Wickham Music CCLI License #38174
