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
