In Christ Alone

Verse 1:

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

***

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My comforter, my all in all

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

***

Verse 2:

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless Babe

This gift if love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

***

'Til on the cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For ev'ry sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ in I live

***

Verse 3:

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then, bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave He rose again

***

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

***

Verse 4:

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

***

No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

'Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
