In Christ alone my hope is found,
He's my light, my strength, my song.
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest
When fears are still, when strivings cease.
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ the Lord, who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in a helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till 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 in death,
this is the power of Christ in me.
From life's first cry to fi nal breath,
Jesus commands my des tiny.
No power of prayer, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or holds me home
Here in the power of Christ,
