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 striving 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 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 stand

Till He returns
Or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ
I stand
