In Christ Alone

F         C      F         G
In Christ alone my hope is found,
   C        F           G    
He is my light, my strength, my 
     C
song;
   F         C        F        G
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
    C              F         G   
firm through the fiercest drought
        C
 and storm.
     C             F        C    
What heights of love, what depths
       G
 of peace,
     C             F       
when fears are stilled, when 
  C          G
strivings cease!
 F       C       F         G
My Comforter, my All in All,
  C            F      G       C
here in the love of Christ I stand.

[V2]
  F         C        F          G
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
   C          F      G        C
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
   F           C        F        G
This gift of love and righteousness
Continues after the ad
    C            F       G       C
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
    C            F      C      G
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
    C          F      C      G
The wrath of God was satisfied -
   F        C      F        G
For every sin on Him was laid;
   C           F         G      C
Here in the death of Christ I live.

[V3]
    F           C       F       G
There in the ground His body lay
    C           F        G        C
Light of the world by darkness slain
    F           C        F         G
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
    C          F        G      C
Up from the grave he rose again!
   C         F      C    G
And as He stands in victory
      C           F      C         G
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
  F        C      F       G
For I am His and He is mine -
     C              F       G    
Bought with the precious blood of
    C
 Christ.

[V4]
    F         C       F          G
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
     C         F      G         C
This is the power of Christ in me;
     F              C     F 
From life's first cry to final 
      G
breath.
  C     F           G    C
Jesus commands my destiny.
  C        F        C         G
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
  C         F        C         G
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
  F        C        F          G
Till He returns or calls me home,
    C          F        G        
Here in the power of Christ I'll 
   C
stand.
