Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me

By Selah

Lyrics

The night is dark but I am not forsaken  

For by my side the Saviour 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  

Oh, 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 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
