lyrics

How vast our sinful nature
We deserve to be lost
In our cold desperation
Christ hung on the sinner’s cross

How great is our salvation
He alone He bears the load
Death to life is His working
Seeds of grace freely sown

How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine

How strong is this assurance
His promise to endure
This gift never failing
True throughout and ever pure

How sweet is this communion
God’s song forged in my soul
This peace that’s like a river
Never stops it ever flows

How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine

How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine

How long this act of mercy
How firm this warranty
This grace goes on forever
The Lord’s sole guarantee

How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine

How strong his hold
Christ will never let me go
This I know for all time
I am his and he is mine
