christian lyrics

in Christ alone

in Christ alone by shane & shane
genre: hymn
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 striving 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
the 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 every sin
on Him was lain
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
sins 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
'til He returns
or call me home
here in the power of Christ i'll stand
