In [G]Christ a[D]lone my [G]hope is f[A]ound,
[D/F#]He is my l[G]ight, my str[A]ength, my s[D]ong;
This [G]Corner[D]stone, this [G]solid Gr[A]ound,
[D/F#]Firm through the fi[G]ercest dr[A]ought and s[D]torm.
What [D/F#]heights of l[G]ove, what [D/F#]depths of p[A]eace,
When [D/F#]fears are s[G]tilled, when s[D/F#]trivings c[A]ease!
My [G]Comfor[D]ter, my [G]All in [A]All,
[D/F#]Here in the l[G]ove of Ch[A]rist I st[D]and.

In [G]Christ a[D]lone! Who t[G]ook on f[A]lesh
[D/F#]Fulness of G[G]od in [A]helpless [D]babe!
This [G]gift of l[D]ove and r[G]ighteous[A]ness
[D/F#]Scorned by the [G]ones he c[A]ame to s[D]ave:
Till [D/F#]on that c[G]ross as [D/F#]Jesus d[A]ied,
The [D/F#]wrath of G[G]od was [D/F#]satisf[A]ied
For [G]every [D]sin on [G]Him was l[A]aid;
[D/F#]Here in the [G]death of Ch[A]rist I l[D]ive.

There [G]in the gr[D]ound His [G]body l[A]ay            \ Play quietly
[D/F#]Light of the [G]world by da[A]rkness sl[D]ain:      /
Then b[G]ursting f[D]orth in g[G]lorious D[A]ay          \
[D/F#]Up from the [G]grave he r[A]ose ag[D]ain!               \
And [D/F#]as He s[G]tands in[D/F#] victor[A]y                     /Play louder
Sin's [D/F#]curse has l[G]ost its [D/F#]grip on m[A]e,          /
For [G]I am H[D]is and [G]He is m[A]ine                 /
[D/F#]Bought with the p[G]recious b[A]lood of Ch[D]rist. /

No [G]guilt in l[D]ife, no f[G]ear in de[A]ath,
[D/F#]This is the p[G]ower of Ch[A]rist in [D]me;
From [G]life's first c[D]ry to f[G]inal br[A]eath.
[D/F#]Jesus c[G]ommands my d[A]estin[D]y.
No [D/F#]power of h[G]ell, no [D/F#]scheme of m[A]an,
Can [D/F#]ever pl[G]uck me f[D/F#]rom His h[A]and;
Till [G]He retu[D]rns or c[G]alls me h[A]ome,
[D/F#]Here in the p[G]ower of Ch[A]rist I'll s[D]tand.

I like to play the last line a second time to end the song, but it works fine
once. This is a simple yet great song, one of my favorites!!
