~HAPPY EASTER~

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!
