All I Have is Christ

I wanted to share the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. If you haven't heard it, you can hear it on Youtube here. The words are so beautiful and so humbling!

I once was lost in darkest night

yet thought I knew the way.

The sin that promised joy in life

had led me to the grave.

I had no hope that You would own

a rebel to Your will

and if You had not loved me first, 

I would refuse You still.

But as I ran my hell-bound race

indifferent to the cost,

You looked upon my helpless state

and led me to the Cross. 

And I beheld God’s love displayed

You suffered in my place.

You bore the wrath reserved for me

now all I know is grace. 

Hallelujah, all I have is Christ

Hallelujah Jesus is my life

Now Lord I would be Yours alone 

and live so all might see.

The strength to follow Your commands

could never come from me.

Oh Father use my ransomed life

in any way You choose

and let my song forever be

my only boast is You.

Hallelujah, all I have is Christ

Hallelujah Jesus is my life
