Christ Lives in Me

Music and words by Chris Llewellyn, Ed Cash and Gareth Gilkeson


I cast my life like ashes on the waves,
And leave behind all of my selfish ways.
My past is gone, now all that's left is grace:
To live is Christ, to die is gain.

I have been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live,
But Christ lives in me.
I have a second chance in life.
My future's open wide, I know
Christ lives in me.

My dreams I lay surrendered at the cross.
My hands held high, my knees upon the dust.
My choice is made, I've counted up the cost:
To live is Christ, to die is gain.

I'm pressing on, pressing on to heaven.
I've seen the power of Your resurrection.
The Savior of my soul is Jesus Christ alone.

He lives in me.
Christ lives in me.
