When Christ once died on Calvary
I too was there;
’Twas in my place He stood for me
And now accepted e’en as He
His name I bear.
I am crucified with Christ
nevertheless I live
Yet
not I
but Christ who liveth in me;
And the life I live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God
Who loved
and gave Himself for me.
When Christ once rose with life divine
I too was there;
His resurrection pow’r is mine
And as the branches and the vine
His life I share.
When Christ will come some day for me
I shall be there;
With Him and like Him I shall be
And all His glorious majesty
I too shall share.
O blessed life so deep
so high
Lord
keep me there;
Help me with Christ to live
to die
And let me with Him
bye and bye
His glory share.
