In Christ Alone

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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