In Christ Alone

          D                Asus
In Christ alone my hope is found,
          G        Asus         D
He is my light, my strength, my song;
        D                    Asus
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
                 G        Asus        D
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
                G                    Asus
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
                G                     Asus
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
        D               Asus
My Comforter, my All in All,
            G      Asus     D
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

        D                     Asus
In Christ alone! ? who took on flesh,
             G     Asus     D
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
             D               Asus
This gift of love and righteousness,
               G        Asus    D
Scorned by the ones He came to save:
             G              Asus
?Til on that cross as Jesus died,
              G          Asus
The wrath of God was satisfied ?
           D             Asus
For every sin on Him was laid;
             G          Asus  D
Here in the death of Christ I live.

               D             Asus
There in the ground His body lay,
             G        Asus              D
Light of the world by darkness slain:
                 D             Asus
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
             G        Asus D
Up from the grave He rose again!
            G         Asus
And as He stands in victory
                G                Asus
Sin?s curse has lost its grip on me,
         D               Asus
For I am His and He is mine ?
                G        Asus     D
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

            D                Asus
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
             G       Asus      D
This is the power of Christ in me;
                   D      Asus
From life?s first cry to final breath,
        G         Asus  D
Jesus commands my destiny.
             G                   Asus
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
          G                  Asus
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
        D                   Asus
?Til He returns or calls me home,
              G       Asus       D
Here in the power of Christ I?ll stand!
