Christ For Us

Christ, for us, became a mortal man In this world of darkness to descend As a Man of Sorrows To behold our woes So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us Christ, for us, fulfilled the holy law Bore the crushing burden for us all Every thought and motive Every work complete So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us Let His praise ring out In the congregation On the lips of every sinner bought by blood With our lives laid down As a grateful offering To the King who ever lives for us Christ, for us, was hung upon a cross Paid for our redemption, what a cost See his body broken See his blood poured out So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us Christ, for us, was laid within a tomb But the Light was greater than the gloom He arose victorious To immortal life So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us Let His praise ring out In the congregation On the lips of every sinner bought by blood With our lives laid down As a grateful offering To the King who ever lives for us Christ, for us, now stands before the throne Pleading with the Father for His own Till the final trumpet He will keep our souls So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us Let His praise ring out In the congregation On the lips of every sinner bought by blood With our lives laid down As a grateful offering To the King who ever lives for us Christ, for us, will one day come again In this world of darkness to descend For his foes, in conquest For his bride, in love So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us
