now grown dim

With a doubting heart I follow the paths of

earthly wisdom

Forgive me for my unbelief Renew the

fire again

flowing

Pardon my transgressions

Help me love you again

Christ Has Conquered All

Heavy laden weary soul bearing up a

heart of stone

His spirit comes to dwell

in you and Christ the weight of sin assume

All my guilt is cast on Christ and his

righteousness is mine

What guilt should lay upon my head for

Christ has cleared it all

The sum of all my sacrifice though joyful

fails to justify

I cannot pay for grace that's free nor add to work that is complete

Jesus paid it all for meThis my ransom and

my plea

What debt I labor to repay for Christ has

paid it all

Through the law comes

sin and death but faith is counted

righteousness

So I will trust in Christ alone my debt to pay

my sin atone

And I'll stand in confidence covered by

his righteousness

What shall become of boasting tongues for Christ has done it all

Where O Death is now thy sting? Swallowed

up in victory

The Lord of glory reigns

on high. Sovereign over

earth and sky

Yes he triumphed o'er the grave and he

comes again one day

What lesser name shall draw our praise

for Christ has conquered all

Yes he triumphed o'er the grave and he

comes again one day

What lesser name shall draw our praise

for Christ has conquered all

For Christ has conquered all

For Christ has conquered all
