In Christ Alone

Songwriter/Composer/Translator Keith Getty, Stuart Townend

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