Sing The Truth

Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me

February 21, 2024

Sing The Truth is our new video series, where we discuss the lyrics to the songs we sing on Sunday mornings. This coming Sunday, we will sing the hymn Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me, and in this video, you will hear Pastor Eric Laverentz and Sara Ledford talk about the meaning behind the lyrics to Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me and how they relate to Eric's upcoming sermon series.


We hope you enjoy this video and to see you on Sunday as we sing this hymn together!


What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer

There is no more for heaven now to give

He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom

My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus

For my life is wholly bound to His

Oh how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine"

Yet not I, but through Christ in me


The night is dark but I am not forsaken

For by my side, the Saviour He will stay

I labour on in weakness and rejoicing

For in my need, His power is displayed

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me

Through the deepest valley He will lead

Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome

Yet not I, but through Christ in me


No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven

The future sure, the price it has been paid

For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon

And He was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated

Jesus now and ever is my plea

Oh the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"

Yet not I, but through Christ in me


With every breath I long to follow Jesus

For He has said that He will bring me home

And day by day I know He will renew me

Until I stand with joy before the throne

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus

All the glory evermore to Him

When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat

Yet not I, but through Christ in me
