16. In Christ Alone

Sunday August 30,2026

In Christ alone, my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in AllHere in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

“In Christ alone my hope is found…”

This modern hymn was written to anchor believers in solid theology—Christ as our foundation, hope, and victory.

In a shifting world, it calls us back to something unshakable.

Our hope is not in circumstances—but in Christ alone.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 — “For no one can lay any foundation other than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.”

Ask yourself:

  • What are you tempted to place your hope in besides Christ?
  • What does it mean for Christ to be your foundation?
  • How does this truth steady you in uncertainty?
