My Life Is Hid With Christ in God

I used to strive for my salvation
With every failure losing hope
Or stand in pride like I could gain it
Working off this debt I owed
But then my motives did betray me
All my righteous filthy rags
I was broken dead buried
Born again to life at last

My life is hid with Christ in God
I rest upon his righteousness
All I have gained I count as loss
For my life is hid with Christ in God

"My beloved child" is said of me from heaven's throne
For all that Christ has done his riches won become my own
And now his law I gladly follow
Once a burden now my joy
I am bound in perfect freedom
I'm his prisoner now by choice

So when my breath is slowly fading
And I see my final setting sun
I will awake like I was dreaming
Find that life has just begun
And heaven's faint and far off echoes
Bursting through an open door
My greatest joys on earth diluted
I will drink them from the source
