Sola Fide – By Faith Alone

Lyrics

Verse 1By faith alone we stand, not by our deeds,
For Christ has borne the burden of our needs.
In Him alone, the work of grace is done,
Our hope secure in God’s beloved Son.

ChorusBy faith, we claim the promise true,
Not by what we say or do.
Christ is our righteousness, our guide,
In Him alone, we do abide.

Verse 2No merit can we bring, no plea but one,
That Christ, our Savior, said, “It is done.”
Our sins He carried to the tree,
And by His stripes, we are set free.

ChorusBy faith, we claim the promise true,
Not by what we say or do.
Christ is our righteousness, our guide,
In Him alone, we do abide.

Verse 3We rise by grace, through waters we are washed,
In Word and sacrament, our souls are awed.
In Christ, our hope, our life is new,
And through His love, our hearts are true.

ChorusBy faith, we claim the promise true,
Not by what we say or do.
Christ is our righteousness, our guide,
In Him alone, we do abide.

Verse 4When trials come and doubts assail our mind,
In faith we trust the Savior, sure and kind.
His grace sufficient in our darkest hour,
In weakness, Christ reveals His power.

ChorusBy faith, we claim the promise true,
Not by what we say or do.
Christ is our righteousness, our guide,
In Him alone, we do abide.

Verse 5By faith we live, in Christ alone we rest,
His blood our ransom, His life our blessedness.
And when we meet Him on that glorious day,
By faith alone, He’ll wipe our tears away.

ChorusBy faith, we claim the promise true,
Not by what we say or do.
Christ is our righteousness, our guide,
In Him alone, we do abide.
