WE HAVE A LIVING HOPE

"We Have a Living Hope" is a bright, confident hymn of thanksgiving that draws its inspiration directly from the first epistle of Peter. The composer, Levi A.D LCO, sets these scriptural words to a steady, uplifting melody that reminds the congregation of the core of their faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a song about assurance, reminding singers that no matter what trials they face in the world, they are called to an eternal inheritance.

In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully during the Easter season when the church celebrates the resurrection, but its message of salvation by grace makes it just as fitting for general Sundays. The verses walk through the journey of faith—from Christ's example on the cross to the promise of eternal rest—before breaking into a unified, joyful refrain. It is the kind of hymn that encourages a congregation to lift their voices together, entering the sanctuary with genuine gratitude for the new birth they have been given.
