He is my light my strength my song
This corner stone this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest draught and storm
What height of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled and strivings cease
My comforter my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand....
No guilt no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to dying breathe
