Lyrics to Hope Of The Ages by Cody Carnes

The gospel of Jesus
It’s the hope of the ages
Burning brighter and brighter
And standing forever

The church He is building
Nothing can stop it
It’s a city that’s shining
A light in the darkness

Nothing can stop it

Though Christ was dead, now surely He’s risen
Yeah, He’s coming back again
And Christ will reign in triumph forever
Yeah, all praise belongs to Him
Yeah, all praise belongs to Jesus

His Word is the answer
For all generations
It will never be tainted
It will never be broken

This is our confession
This is our conviction
We believe what is written
We believe what You’ve spoken

Though Christ was dead, now surely He’s risen
Yeah, He’s coming back again
And Christ will reign in triumph forever
Yeah, all praise belongs to Him
Yeah, all praise belongs to Jesus

Sing “Hallelujah”
Christ is our Redeemer
Shout “Hallelujah”
Jesus holds our future

Oh, we sing “Hallelujah” (we’ve come to Jesus to sing)
Christ is our Redeemer (He’s redeemed, He saves, we are free)
(Oh) shout “Hallelujah”
Jesus holds our future (He holds it all)

Though Christ was dead, now surely He’s risen
Yeah, He is coming back again (He’s coming back, Hallelujah)
And Christ will reign in triumph forever
Yeah, (all praise) all praise belongs to Him (yes, it does)
Yeah, all praise belongs to Jesus

Oh, we sing “Hallelujah”
Christ is our Redeemer
Shout “Hallelujah”
Jesus holds our future
