You…are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:9

Lyrics

Christ in me, the hope of glo­ry,
Is the sum of all my dreams;
Each day my faith the strong­er, bright­er grows,
And more abun­dant seems.

Refrain

Christ in me, the hope of glo­ry,
This my soul shall ev­er be;
Christ in me! O won­drous sto­ry,
That He lived and died for me.

Christ in me, the hope of glo­ry,
This alone—all else is vain;
It was for me He went to Cal­va­ry—
The Lamb for sin­ners slain.

Refrain

Christ in me, the hope of glo­ry,
Strength in weak­ness will sup­ply,
In my temp­ta­tions give me vic­to­ry,
In ev­ery need be nigh.

Refrain

Christ in me, the hope of glo­ry,
He will lead me all the way,
Until I see Him in His beau­ty, in
The land of end­less day.
