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) |
