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
Fulness
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.
