In Christ Alone

I heard this song back in November at a wedding.
I kept the music and gave it to our song leader where we worship and he knew it so he taught the congregation and last weekend we sang it at Sunday morning and evening service. So far, tears have come to my eyes every time I have sung this song.

In Christ Alone
by Keith Getty and Stuart Townsend

In Christ alone, my hope is found, he is my light, my stength, 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 a 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 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.

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 every sin on Him was laid. Here in the death of Christ I live!

There in the 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 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.

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 for victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on my.
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 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.
