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 the 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 Fullness of God in helpless Babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save Til on that as 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 In Christ in Christ alone 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 Sins curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ In Christ in Christ alone No guilt in life no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From a life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell no scheme of man Could ever pluck me from His hand Til He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I stand
