How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
Story Behind the Song
“Living Hope” is a contemporary worship song written by Phil Wickham and Brian Johnson of Bethel Music and released by Wickham in 2018. Its title and central image draw from 1 Peter 1:3, celebrating Christ’s resurrection as the believer’s living hope. The song became widely used in evangelical worship and was recognized in contemporary Christian music circles after its release.
