Lyrics
I will sing for all my days
Of Your goodness and Your grace
And the wonders of Your love for me
I will declare Your glory Lord
That You died & rose again
Now in You I stand
Justified
All of my hope is in You Lord
In the saving power
Of Your blood
You're my Righteousness
My Deliverer
I am free and alive
'Cos You live in me
I will shout my praise
Unto You my King
You're my Jesus
In You I live

Meaning & Inspiration
“In You I Live” is a confession of praise rooted in the death and resurrection of Jesus. The opening promises to sing of God’s goodness, grace, love, and glory, then identifies Christ’s saving work as the reason for that praise. Justification is presented as a secure standing in Christ rather than an achievement earned by the singer. Hope rests in the saving power of Christ’s blood, giving the song a distinctly gospel-centered foundation.
The chorus gathers several results of that salvation: righteousness, deliverance, freedom, and life. Its statement that Christ lives in the singer closely echoes Galatians 2:20, while the title recalls the language of life in God found in Acts 17:28. Calling Jesus King turns personal gratitude into worship and public declaration. The song moves in a clear sequence from remembering grace to affirming hope and then shouting praise. Throughout, spiritual life is portrayed as dependent on union with Christ and sustained by his living presence.
