In Christ Alone

Verse 1:

D A

In Christ alone my hope is found

G A D

He is my Light, my strength, my song.

D A

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

G A D

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

G A

What heights of love! What depths of peace,

G A

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.

D A

My Comforter, my all in all,

G A D

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

Verse 2:

D A

In Christ alone, who took on flesh,

G A D

Fullness of God in helpless Babe.

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save.

G A

‘Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied,

D A

For ev’ry sin on Him was laid

G A D

Here in the death of Christ I live.

Verse 3:

There in the ground His body lay,

Light of the world by darkness slain.

The 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.

Verse 4:

No guilt in life, no fear in death:

This is the pow’r of Christ in me.

From life’s first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

‘till He returns, or calls me home

here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.
