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 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!

Until 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 it's grip on me!

For I am His, and He is mine-

Bought with the precious blood of Christ!

No guilt in life, no fear of death-

This is the power of Christ in me!

From life's first cry, to final breath-

Jesus commands my destiny!

No powers of hell, no schemes of man-

Can ever pluck me from His hand!

Till He returns, or calls me home-
Here in the power of Christ I stand!
