(Verse 1)
Praise God our heavenly Father
Worship Jesus our Savior
Clothed in mercy He came to save us
Hope He gave us of everlasting favor

(Chorus)
We have a living hope
And a life beyond the grave
A brighter inheritance
That never tarnishes or fades
We have a living hope
Purified by holy fire
We have a living hope
Jesus You're our hearts' desire

(Verse 2)
Though our eyes have never seen Him
Yet in faith we won't waver
We will trust
Oh, we will believe in Him
And receive His everlasting favor

(Repeat Chorus)
We have a living hope
And a life beyond the grave
A brighter inheritance
That never tarnishes or fades
We have a living hope
Purified by holy fire
We have a living hope
Jesus You're our hearts' desire
