Where all My Hopes Are Built

Yes, I deserve to die,
My sin condemns my soul;
And by myself I can’t escape
Or shake its full control.

But Jesus died for me –
He took my sin and guilt,
He paid my debt upon the cross
Where all my hopes are built.

Now I am free indeed
For Christ has set me free!
He rose again and gave me life
For all eternity.

Henceforth I live in Him
And heed His loving call.
With grateful thanks I praise His Name
For He’s my all in all.
