Because He Lives In Christ alone

God sent His son In Christ alone my hope is found

They called Him Jesus He is my light, my strength, my song
He came to love This cornerstone, this solid ground
Heal and forgive Firm through the fiercest drought and
He bled and died
storm
To buy my pardon
What heights of love, what depths of
An empty grave
peace
Is there to prove
When fears are stilled, when strivings
My savior lives
cease
Chorus: My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
And because He lives
I can face tomorrow In Christ alone who took on flesh
Because He lives Fullness of God in helpless babe
All fear is gone This gift of love and righteousness
Because I know Scorned by the ones He came to save
He holds the future Till on that cross as Jesus died
And life is worth the living The wrath of God was satisfied
Just because He lives For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives; There in the ground His body lay
But greater still the calm assurance: Light of the world by darkness slain
This child can face uncertain days Then bursting forth in glorious day
because He Lives! Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Chorus:
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
And then one day For I am His and He is mine
I'll cross the river Bought with the precious blood of Christ
And I'll fight life's final war with pain
No guilt in life, no fear in death
And then
This is the power of Christ in me
As death gives way to victory
From life's first cry to final breath
I'll see the lights of glory
Jesus commands my destiny
And I'll know He reigns
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Chorus: Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
