1 John 4:13
"Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us,
because he hath given us of his Spirit."

          Whenever the cares of life weigh on your mind
          And you feel your heart is going to break,
          Remember the One who laid down His life,
          The One who died for your sake.

            Refrain
            Christ in you, the hope of Glory,
            He has sworn to see you through.
            He will finish what He started,
            Christ in you is your only hope of Glory.

          Remember the Word of God you heard at first,
          Remember the way it used to be,
          The mystery hidden from the ages past
          Has now been revealed to you and me.

            Refrain
            Christ in you, the hope of Glory,
            He has sworn to see you through.
            He will finish what He started,
            Christ in you is your only hope of Glory.

          Look up when the sun is shining in your sky.
          Look up when He brings the clouds your way.
          Your day isn't evil just because you cried,
          You may be learning how to say ...

            Refrain
            Christ in me, my hope of Glory,
            He has sworn to see me through.
            He will finish what He started,
            Christ in me is my only hope, my only hope
            My only hope of Glory.
