Song: In Christ Alone
[V1]
F C F G
In Christ alone my hope is found,
C F G C
He is my light, my strength, my song;
F C F G
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
C F G C
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
C F C G
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
C F C G
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
F C F G
My Comforter, my All in All,
C F G C
here in the love of Christ I stand.
[V2]
F C F G
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
C F G C
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
F C F G
This gift of love and righteousness
C F G C
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
C F C G
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
C F C G
The wrath of God was satisfied -
F C F G
For every sin on Him was laid;
C F G C
Here in the death of Christ I live.
[V3]
F C F G
There in the ground His body lay
C F G C
Light of the world by darkness slain
F C F G
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
C F G C
Up from the grave he rose again!
C F C G
And as He stands in victory
C F C G
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
F C F G
For I am His and He is mine -
C F G C
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
[V4]
F C F G
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
C F G C
This is the power of Christ in me;
F C F G
From life's first cry to final breath.
C F G C
Jesus commands my destiny.
C F C G
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
C F C G
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
F C F G
Till He returns or calls me home,
C F G C
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
