In Christ Alone - Natalie Grant

                                                               

                                       In Christ Alone:


In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my Song
This Corner Stone, this Solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and Storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, where strivings 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!
                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 laid
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 grips 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 hands
Till He returns or calls me home 
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
