Stuart Townend – In Christ Alone (Guitar)

N.C.       G        C       D
In Christ alone, my hope is found,

G        C         D            G
He is my light, my strength, my song.

     C     G           C     D
This cornerstone, this solid ground,

G                C        D           G
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

                C          G         D
What heights of love, what depths of peace,

     G         C             G         D
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.

   C     G       C      D
My Comforter, my All in All,

G           C       D         G
Here in the love of Christ, I stand.

   C       G         C       D
In Christ alone, who took on flesh

G           C      D        G
Fullness of God in helpless babe!

     C       G        C        D
This gift of love and righteousness,

G              C       D       G
Scorned by the ones he came to save.

             C         G     D
Till on that cross, as Jesus died,

    G        C       G    D
The wrath of God was satisfied.

    C     G      C       D
For every sin on Him was laid;

G           C        D         G
Here in the death of Christ, I live.

      C      G           C    D
There in the ground, His body lay, 

G            C        D        G
Light of the world by darkness slain. 

      C        G        C        D
Then, bursting forth in glorious day,

G           C        D     G
Up from the grave He rose again!

          C         G    D
And as He stands in victory,

      G         C        G       D
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me.

    C    G        C     D
For I am His, and He is mine, 

G               C        D        G
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

   C        G        C       D
No guilt in life, no fear in death; 

G           C        D         G
This is the pow'r of Christ in me. 

     C            G       C     D
From life's first cry, to final breath,

G        C        D    G
Jesus commands my destiny. 

            C        G         D
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man, 

    G    C        G        D
Can ever pluck me from His hand. 

     C     G       C        D
Till He returns or calls me home,

G           C        D            G
Here in the pow'r of Christ, I'll stand.

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