what gift of grace is jesus my redeemer

there is no more for heaven now to give

he is my joy my righteousness and freedom

my steadfast love my deep and boundless peace

to this i hold my hope is only jesus

for my life is wholly bound to his

oh how strange and divine

i can sing all is mine

yet not i but through christ in me

the night is dark but i am not forsaken

for by my side the savior he will stay

i labor on in weakness and rejoicing

for in my need his power is displayed

to this i hold my shepherd will defend me

through the deepest valley he will lead

oh the night has been won and i shall overcome

yet not i but through christ in me

no fate i dread i know i am forgiven

the future sure the price it has been paid

for jesus bled and suffered for my pardon

and he was raised to overthrow the grave

to this i hold

my sin has been defeated

jesus now and ever is my plea

all the chains are released i can sing i am free

yet not i but through christ in me

with every breath i long to follow jesus

for he has said that he will bring me home

and day by day i know he will renew me

until i stand with joy before the throne

to this i hold my hope is all in

jesus all the glory evermore to him

when the race is complete

still my lips shall repeat

yet not i but through christ in me

to this i hold my hope is only

jesus all the glory evermore to him

and when the race is complete

still my lips shall repeat

yet not i but through christ in me

yet not i but through christ in me
