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.
|
|
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
|
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
|
This gift of love and righteousness
|
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
|
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
|
The wrath of God was satisfied -
|
For every sin on Him was laid;
|
Here in the death of Christ I live.
|
|
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 its grip on me,
|
For I am His and He is mine -
|
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
|
|
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
|
This is the power of Christ in me;
|
From life's first cry to final breath.
|
Jesus commands my destiny.
|
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
|
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
|
Till He returns or calls me home,
|
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
