Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

\'Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life\'s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I\'ll stand
