All I Have is Christ

Shane & Shane's 'All I Have Is Christ' is a modern hymn reflecting on salvation by grace alone. The song traces a journey from spiritual blindness and rebellion to the cross, where God's love and wrath-bearing sacrifice are displayed. It emphasizes that salvation is entirely God's work, not human effort, and that Christ alone is the believer's life and boast. The lyrics echo themes of total depravity, substitutionary atonement, and surrender to God's will. The acoustic arrangement underscores the intimate, confessional tone of the song, which has become a staple in contemporary worship settings.

VERSE 1

I once was lost in darkest night

Yet thought I knew the way

The sin that promised joy and life

Had led me to the grave

I had no hope that You would own

A rebel to Your will

And if You had not loved me first

I would refuse You still

Chorus:

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

VERSE 2

But as I ran my hell-bound race

Indifferent to the cost

You looked upon my helpless state

And led me to the cross

And I beheld God?s love displayed

You suffered in my place

You bore the wrath reserved for me

Now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

VERSE 3

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone

And live so all might see

The strength to follow Your commands

Could never come from me

O Father, use my ransomed life

In any way You choose

And let my song forever be

My only boast is You

All I Have is Christ
