In Christ Alone

In christ alone, my hope is found 
he is my light, my strength, my song 
this cornerstone, this solid ground 
firm through the fiercest drought and storm 
what heights of love, what depths of peace 
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease 
my comforter, my all in all 

here in the love of christ I stand 

In christ alone, who took on flesh 
fullness of god in 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 final breath 
jesus commands my destiny 
no power of hell, no scheme of man 
can ever pluck me from his hand 
till he returns or calls me home 
here in the power of christ I'll stand
