Lyrics:

VERSE 1
I have been crucified
and it’s no longer I 
but Christ who lives in me
What a marvelous thought
to be marked for my God
with the hope of glory

VERSE 2 
When I think about Him
how He’s dwelling within
what depth of grace I need
You are mindful of man
Though You know who I am
I wonder how could this be?

REFRAIN
What a glorious mystery
What a glorious mystery
Christ lives, Christ lives
Christ lives in me

VERSE 3
Since my own righteousness
has been purchased with death
by Him who had no sin
There is courage I find
when I lay down my life
and take up my cross again

REFRAIN

VERSE 4
Satan has no domain
when to die is my gain
and now to live is Christ
So no power can hold
because gone is the old
and risen is my new life

REFRAIN (2x)

Lyrics:

VERSE 1:
Prophecies from days of old were fulfilled in Him alone
He stepped down from His throne, and came to save us

VERSE 2:
God became flesh in the Son, fullness of the Holy One
He was despised and shunned, all to save us

CHORUS:
What kind of King would come to die
But the mighty Lord of love who reigns on high, Emmanuel What kind of man could conquer death
But the One who came with power to rise again, Emmanuel God with us, God with us

VERSE 3:
True Light, He lived to shine radiance of the divine
He offered up His life, and died to save us

VERSE 4:
Worthy lamb for sin was slain, Mighty God is His name
Forever we will praise the One who saved us

BRIDGE:
He healed the sick and served the poor
Spoke the truth and nothing more
Like no one who came before
He was a teacher and a friend
He walked this life and never sinned
And His kingdom has no end

OUTRO:
Jesus, God with us
