by the word of him who died

By The Word of Him Who Died
Ryan Itzel, John Newton

Why should I fear the darkest hour
Or tremble at the tempter’s power? 
Jesus will be my strong high tower
By His grace I will not cower

Chorus
By the word of Him who died
Guilty prisoners find their release
Every door flies open wide
And they depart with Christ in peace

Though sin will fill me with distress
The throne of grace I dare address
Jesus will be my righteousness
in Him I will put my confidence

Against me earth and hell combine
But on my side is power divine
Jesus is all, and He is Mine
When all this world has passed behind
