Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I searched for worth in what I’d done,
In every voice that spoke my name;
I tried to hide the things I feared,
And carried every mark of shame.
But everything I built upon
Could never tell me what was true;
I searched for something strong enough—
Then I found my life was held in You.

[Chorus]
My life is found in Christ,
My hope is held in You;
Nothing I could gain or lose
Can change what You have made true.
I am held within Your love,
Your love will hold me fast;
My life is found in Christ—
My everything is You.

[Verse 2]
What once I counted as my gain,
I gladly lay it down for You;
There is no treasure I could hold
Compared with knowing You, my Lord.
My life is hidden now with You,
No power can tear me from Your love;
You took hold of me and called me Yours;
Now I press on to follow You.

[Chorus]
My life is found in Christ,
My hope is held in You;
Nothing I could gain or lose
Can change what You have made true.
I am held within Your love,
Your love will hold me fast;
My life is found in Christ—
My everything is You.

[Bridge]
I don’t live to earn Your love;
I live because I’m loved.
I don’t serve to prove my worth;
In You I have enough.
Take the life that You have given,
Use it, Lord, to do Your will;
Jesus, You have taken hold of me—
Now my life belongs to You.

[Final Chorus]
My life is found in Christ,
My hope is held in You;
Nothing I could gain or lose
Can change what You have made true.
I am held within Your love,
Your love will hold me fast;
My life is found in Christ—
Jesus, all I need is You.
