In Christ Alone

In Christ alone, my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This corner stone, 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 and helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones he came to save,
Til 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 and 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,
Could ever pluck me from His hand;
Til He returns or calls me home -
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Could ever pluck me from his hand;
Til He returns or calls me home -
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
