sorry if this bores you, but.....

....this is one of my favorite songs. :)


All I have is Christ

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

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!


Now Lord I would be Yours alone and live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands could never come from me
Oh Father use this ransomed life in any way You choose
And let my song forever be "My only boast is You!"
