Selah - Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me Lyrics

The night is dark but I am not forsaken  
For by my side the Saviour He will stay  
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing  
For in my need His power is displayed  
 
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me  
Through the deepest valley He will lead  
Oh, the night has been won and I shall overcome  
Yet not I but through Christ in me  
 
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven  
The future sure, the price it has been paid  
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon  
And He was raised to overthrow the grave  
 
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated  
Jesus now and ever is my plea  
Oh, the chains are released, I can sing “I am free”  
Yet not I but through Christ in me  
 
With every breath I long to follow Jesus  
For He has said that He will bring me home  
And day by day, I know He will renew me  
Until I stand with joy before the throne  
 
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus  
All the glory evermore to Him  
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat  
Yet not I but through Christ in me
