[Verse 1] CG In Christ alone my hope is found, FGC He is my light, my strength, my song; CG this Cornerstone, this solid Ground, FGC firm through the fiercest drought and storm. FG What heights of love, what depths of peace, FG when fears are stilled, when strivings cease! CG My Comforter, my All in All, FGC here in the love of Christ I stand.
[Verse 2] CG In Christ alone! who took on flesh FGC Fullness of God in helpless babe! CG This gift of love and righteousness FGC Scorned by the ones he came to save: FG Till on that cross as Jesus died, FG The wrath of God was satisfied - CG For every sin on Him was laid; FGC Here in the death of Christ I live.
[Verse 3] CG There in the ground His body lay FGC Light of the world by darkness slain CG Then bursting forth in glorious Day FGC Up from the grave he rose again! FG And as He stands in victory FG Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, CG For I am His and He is mine - FGC Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
[Verse 4] CG No guilt in life, no fear in death, FGC This is the power of Christ in me; CG From life's first cry to final breath. FGC Jesus commands my destiny. FG No power of hell, no scheme of man, FG Can ever pluck me from His hand; CG Till He returns or calls me home, FGC Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
