In Christ Alone Lyrics - Music Of Northern Ireland - Eamonn Mccrystal

In Christ alone my hope is found 

He is my light, my strength, my song 

This cornerstone, this solid ground, 

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. 

What heights of love, what depths of peace, 

When fears are stilled, when 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. 

'Til on that cross as Jesus died, 

The wrath of God was satisfied 

For ev'ry 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 pow'r of Christ in me 

From life's first cry to final breath, 

Jesus commands my destiny. 

No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man, 

Can ever pluck me from His hand 

'Til He returns or calls me home 

Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
