Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We who lived in darkness
Have seen a great, great light.
Emmanuel is here, a kingdom is in sight.
Through the cross we see
You won the victory,
Healed us, saved us.
[Verse 2]
Once we were no people,
Now we are your sons and daughters.
You pulled us from the pit,
Led us to living waters.
We’ve tasted and we’ve seen
What it is that makes us clean.
For this, we proclaim,
[Chorus 1]
Hallelujah, we have a reason to hope.
Hallelujah, your steadfast love endures.
We put our trust in You
Who’s making all things new.
Hallelujah, we have a reason to hope.
[Verse 3]
Holy, loving God
Who knitted our most inward parts,
You know our sufferings,
Hear the cries of sinful hearts.
No dead or shadowy place
Can hide us from your embrace.
For this, we proclaim,
[Chorus 2]
Hallelujah, we have a reason to hope.
Hallelujah, your steadfast love endures.
We put our trust in You
Who’s making all things new.
Hallelujah, we have a reason to hope.
[Verse 4]
O the hope of glory
All creation groans within.
Jesus the Christ has died,
Is ris’n, will come again.
Now we see as in a haze,
Then we will see face to face.
For this, we proclaim,
[Chorus 3]
Hallelujah, we have a reason to hope.
Hallelujah, your steadfast love endures.
We put our trust in You
Who’s making all things new.
Hallelujah, we have a reason to hope.
[Bridge]
We hope in You Lord
We hope in You Lord
We hope in You Lord
We hope in You Lord
