Happy Easter!

In Christ Alone

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 in 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.
