All I Have Is Christ
Sovereign Grace Music Lyrics

I once was lost in darkest night
There was a time when I was completely lost and hopeless, unable to see any light or way out.

Yet thought I knew the way
Despite my situation, I was foolishly convinced that I knew what I was doing and where I was going.

The sin that promised joy and life
The sins I indulged in seemed to offer me a life of happiness and fulfillment.

Had led me to the grave
Instead, they had only led me to a state of spiritual death and utter despair.

I had no hope that You would own
I did not believe that there was any chance for me to be accepted or owned by God, in light of my past actions.

A rebel to Your will
I had been rebellious and willful, acting in ways that were directly opposed to God's commands and purpose for my life.

And if You had not loved me first
If it were not for God's love and grace, shown to me from the very beginning, I would never have been able to open my heart to Him and turn from my sinful ways.

I would refuse You still
Without God's intervention, I would still be rejecting Him and living in darkness and separation from Him.

But as I ran my hell-bound race
Even though I was headed straight for eternal damnation, I continued to live in reckless abandon and without regard for my ultimate fate.

Indifferent to the cost
I was completely unaware and unconcerned with the high price that Christ would pay to redeem me and save me from my sins.

You looked upon my helpless state
Despite my own blindness and ignorance, God had seen my true condition and knew how desperately I needed His love and intervention.

And led me to the cross
It was only through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross that I was able to be saved, and it was God's love that brought me to that point of salvation.

And I beheld God’s love displayed
As I came to understand more about the nature of God's mercy and compassion, I began to see the depth of His love at work in my own life and the world around me.

You suffered in my place
Christ's death on the cross was a substitutionary sacrifice, where He took on the punishment that I deserved for my sins.

You bore the wrath reserved for me
This punishment was not small or insignificant, but represented the full measure of God's wrath for all the wrongdoing that I had committed and would commit in the future.

Now all I know is grace
As a result of Christ's sacrifice, I am now filled with a sense of gratitude and reliance on God's grace and forgiveness, rather than my own achievements or merit.

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
In light of everything that God has done for me, I proclaim my allegiance and total dependence on Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life
My life is now defined and shaped by my relationship with Christ, who is the ultimate source of my hope, joy, and purpose.

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
I surrender my entire being to God's will and purpose, recognizing that my life and future belong entirely to Him.

And live so all might see
I strive to live in such a way that others can see the truth and love of God through my actions and behavior.

The strength to follow Your commands
I recognize that my own abilities and powers are not sufficient to obey God's will, and instead rely on His strength and guidance to do so.

Could never come from me
There is nothing within myself that can earn or achieve the favor of God, and only through His grace and spirit can I hope to obey and fulfill His commands.

Oh Father, use my ransomed life
As one who has been redeemed and saved by God's grace, I offer my life and everything within it as an offering for His use and glory.

In any way You choose
I am willing to follow God's lead and purpose, even if it takes me out of my comfort zone or challenges me in new ways.

And let my song forever be
My life and my heart are filled with the joy and gratitude for what God has done for me, and I will never stop praising and proclaiming His goodness.

My only boast is You
I have nothing to offer myself, and everything to offer God, who is the true source of all goodness and grace within me.
