Found In Christ

Whatever things were gain to me

The things for which I paid a cost

For the sake of Christ they've come to be

Those things I now just count as loss

By any means to know Christ

This is of all-surpassing worth

Knowing Christ has much more value

Than any thing offered on earth

Now I can walk away, set free

From any thing I have possessed

Reckoned as rubbish so to gain Christ

For to be found in Christ is to be found blessed

To be found in Christ alone

Having no righteousness of my own

Comes by faith not law, So I stand in awe

Of the righteousness of Christ my cornerstone.

That I may know Christ

Resurrection power to apprehend

In the sharing of his sufferings is greater gain

To his death conformed, my knee I bend

So to his resurrection to attain.

No worthy deed we do can e're atone

We understand the God who gives

All that is found in Christ alone;

By his own righteousness we live

He made Christ to be sin for us

Who knew no sin, in this we trust

It is finished and done, so we can become

The Righteousness of God in Him

This is where the hope of glory begins and ends

Oh, to be found in Christ alone,

Having no righteousness of my own.

It comes by faith not law, So I stand in awe

Of the righteousness of Christ my cornerstone.
