In Christ Alone
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 strikings cease.
My Comforter, my all in all,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness 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 ev'ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the grave, 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 precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the pow'r 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;
'Till He returns or calls me home,
here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand!
