[Verse 1]
G C D7 G D
My hope is in the Lord Who gave Himself for me,
D7 G D G Am G D G
And paid the price of all my sin at Calvary.
[Chorus]

For me He died,
D D7 G
For me He lives,
D7 C A7 D D7 Em Am G D7 G
And everlasting life and light He freely gives.
[Verse 2]
G C D7 G D
No merit of my own His anger to suppress.
D7 G D G Am G D G
My only hope is found in Jesus’ righteousness.
[Verse 3]
G C D7 G D
And now for me He stands Before the Father’s throne.
D7 G D G Am G D G
He shows His wounded hands and names me as His own.
[Verse 4]
G C D7 G D
His grace has planned it all, ’Tis mine but to believe,
D7 G D G Am G D G
And recognize His work of love and Christ receive.
