Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me
January 17, 2021
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
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
Oh the chains are released, I can sing, I am free, yet not I, but through Christ in me
Verse 4:
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 only 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
