GDGA In Christ alone my hope is found, D/F#GAD He is my light, my strength, my song; GDGA This Cornerstone, this solid Ground, D/F#GAD Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. D/F#GD/F#A What heights of love, what depths of peace, D/F#GD/F#A When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! GDGA My Comforter, my All in All, D/F#GAD Here in the love of Christ I stand.
GDGA In Christ alone! Who took on flesh D/F#GAD Fullness of God in helpless babe! GDGA This gift of love and righteousness D/F#GAD Scorned by the ones he came to save: D/F#GD/F#A Till on that cross as Jesus died, D/F#GD/F#A The wrath of God was satisfied GDGA For every sin on Him was laid; D/F#GAD Here in the death of Christ I live.
GDGA There in the ground His body lay D/F#GAD Light of the world by darkness slain: GDGA Then bursting forth in glorious Day D/F#GAD Up from the grave he rose again! D/F#GD/F#A And as He stands in victory D/F#GD/F#A Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, GDGA For I am His and He is mine D/F#GAD Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
GDGA No guilt in life, no fear in death, D/F#GAD This is the power of Christ in me; GDGA From life's first cry to final breath. D/F#GAD Jesus commands my destiny. D/F#GD/F#A No power of hell, no scheme of man, D/F#GD/F#A Can ever pluck me from His hand; GDGA Till He returns or calls me home, D/F#GAD Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
