#071   In Christ Alone (G)

Verse 1 ----------------------------------

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 & 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

Verse 2 --------------------------------

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

 'Til on that cross as Jesus died

 The wrath of God was satisfied

 For ev'ry sin on Him was laid

 Here in the death of Christ I live

Verse 3 --------------------------------

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

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

 'Til He returns or calls me home

 Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
