Once far from God and dead in sin,
Verse 1
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.
Chorus
Christ liveth in me, Christ liveth in me; Oh! What a salvation this, That Christ liveth in me.
Verse 2
As rays of light from yonder sun, The flow'rs of earth set free, So life and light and love come forth From Christ living in me.
Verse 3
As lives the flow'r within the seed, As in the cone the tree, So, praise the Christ of truth and grace, His Spirit dwelleth in me.
Verse 4
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.
