In Christ Alone

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

[Verse 2]
   G       D          G       A
In Christ alone! Who took on flesh
D/F#        G     A        D
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
     G        D        G       A
This gift of love and righteousness
D/F#           G        A       D
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
     D/F#     G       D/F#   A
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
    D/F#      G      D/F#  A
The wrath of God was satisfied
    G     D      G        A
For every sin on Him was laid;
D/F#        G          A       D
Here in the death of Christ I live.

[Verse 3]
      G        D        G     A
There in the ground His body lay
D/F#         G          A        D
Light of the world by darkness slain:
      G        D        G        A
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
D/F#        G         A     D
Up from the grave he rose again!
    D/F#   G       D/F#   A
And as He stands in victory
      D/F#       G       D/F#     A
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
    G     D      G      A
For I am His and He is mine
D/F#             G        A         D
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

[Verse 4]
   G         D        G        A
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
D/F#         G         A       D
This is the power of Christ in me;
     G             D      G      A
From life's first cry to final breath.
D/F#   G           A    D
Jesus commands my destiny.
   D/F#      G       D/F#       A
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
    D/F#   G       D/F#     A
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
     G      D       G        A
Till He returns or calls me home,
D/F#         G         A          D
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
