In Christ Alone
V1   
F         C      F         G
In Christ alone my hope is found,
   C        F           G         C
He is my light, my strength, my song;
   F         C        F        G
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
    C              F         G           C 
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
     C             F        C           G  
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
     C             F         C          G 
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
 F       C       F         G  
My Comforter, my All in All,
  C            F      G       C 
here in the love of Christ I stand.

V2
  F         C        F          G
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
   C          F      G        C                    
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
   F           C        F        G 
This gift of love and righteousness
    C            F       G       C 
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
    C            F      C      G 
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
    C          F      C      G  
The wrath of God was satisfied -
   F        C      F        G   
For every sin on Him was laid;
   C           F         G      C 
Here in the death of Christ I live.

V3
    F           C       F       G
There in the ground His body lay
    C           F        G        C   
Light of the world by darkness slain
    F           C        F         G  
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
    C          F        G      C 
Up from the grave he rose again!
   C         F      C    G 
And as He stands in victory
      C           F      C         G  
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
  F        C      F       G 
For I am His and He is mine -
     C              F       G        C 
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

V4
    F         C       F          G 
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
     C         F      G         C 
This is the power of Christ in me;
     F              C     F       G 
From life's first cry to final breath.
  C     F           G    C 
Jesus commands my destiny.   
  C        F        C         G 
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
  C         F        C         G 
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
  F        C        F          G
Till He returns or calls me home,
    C          F        G           C 
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
