Once far from God and dead in sin
No light my heart could see
But in God's word the light I found
Now Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Oh, what a salvation this
That Christ liveth in me
As rays of light from yonder sun
The flowers of earth set free
So life and light and love come forth
From Christ living in me
Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Oh, what a salvation this
That Christ liveth in me
As lives the flower within the seed
As in the cone the tree
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace
His Spirit dwelleth in me
Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Oh, what a salvation this
That Christ liveth in me
♪
With longing all my heart is filled
That like Him I may be
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
That Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Oh, what a salvation this
That Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me
Oh, what a salvation this
That Christ liveth in me
