Jesus, you?re the strength that carries through
So I don?t want to live a day without you
?Cause it?s Your Spirit moving in me
You?re life overflowing
That changes everything I do
Christ in me, my hope of glory
Christ in me, my longing filled
Christ in me, my joy forever
Christ in me, all I need
Surrender doesn?t come that easily
But I know it?s the one thing that I need
So I come yielding my way, my heart
And I find the life I long for,
The only life I?ve found is true
Christ in me, my hope of glory
Christ in me, my longing filled
Christ in me, my joy forever
Christ in me, all I need
My shame, You carried
My old ways, You buried
My heart, You invaded
My life, You have raised up
Now You?re the brightness of my eyes
My song to sing in darkest nights
You are the strength I?m standing in
My peace that no one else can give
Oh Jesus my firm foundation
My deepest consolation
You keep making all things new!
Christ in me, my hope of glory
Christ in me, my longing filled
Christ in me, my joy forever
Christ in me, all I need
Your life in me is what I need, it?s everything, it?s everything to me
Christ In Me
