Resonate the Word - In Christ Alone I Stand Lyrics

Before the world began to be
You set Your love, You chose for me
Adopted now, redeemed by grace
Through Jesus' blood, I'm called by name
No work of mine could earn this place
Not by my strength, but by Your grace
Sealed by the Spirit, held so tight
A child of God, clothed in light
Oh, in Christ alone I stand
By His mercy, by His hand
No more striving, I am free
His grace has brought new life to me
No wall remains to keep us far
We are one, both near and far
Jew and Gentile, hand in hand
Built together by His plan
A holy dwelling, raised in love
A temple filled with things above
One Lord, one faith, one hope, one call
One God who reigns over all
Oh, in Christ alone I stand
By His mercy, by His hand
No more striving, I am free
His grace has brought new life to me
Put off the old, put on the new
Walk in the light, let love shine through
Be filled with joy, let wisdom guide
Redeem the time, in Him abide
The war is real, the battle strong
Yet in His strength, I carry on
The belt of truth, the shield of faith
The sword of Spirit lights my way
With righteousness upon my chest
And gospel shoes, I stand and rest
Through prayer and power, through fire and fight
The victory's won in Jesus Christ
Oh, in Christ alone I stand
By His mercy, by His hand
Seated high in victory
His love endures eternally
Now to Him who can do more
Than we could ask or dream before
All glory now, forever be
In Christ alone, our victory
