Christ For Us

Lyrics & Music by Darby Hughes

Lyrics

Christ, for us, became a mortal man
In this world of darkness to descend
As a Man of Sorrows
To behold our woes
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us!

Christ, for us, fulfilled the holy Law
Bore the crushing burden for us all
Every thought and motive
Every work complete
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us!

(Chorus):
Let His praise ring out
In the congregation
On the lips of every sinner bought by blood
With our lives laid down
As a grateful offering
To the King who ever lives for us

Christ, for us, was hung upon a cross
Paid for our redemption, what a cost!
See his body broken
See his blood poured out
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us

Christ, for us, was laid within a tomb
But the Light was greater than the gloom
He arose victorious
To immortal life
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us

(Chorus)

Christ, for us, now stands before the throne
Pleading with the Father for His own
Till the final trumpet
He will keep our souls
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us

(Chorus)

Christ, for us, will one day come again
In this world of darkness he’ll descend
For his foes, in conquest
For his bride, in love
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us!
