I Cling to Christ (I Samuel 31)

I cling to Christ, my fast redoubt,
Though I'm besieged on every side,
When devils tempt my heart to doubt,
I'll hold on to my Jesus' side.

I cling to Christ, my solid rock,
Though foemen hunt me down to kill,
When all my dearest friends are lost,
I cling unto my Savior still.

I cling to Christ, my sure defense,
By captivating every thought.
I mourn the loss of fallen friends,
Who for our Holy Father fought.

I cling to Christ, my only life,
Affirming every word He said.
So boldly I will sacrifice,
Because my Christ can raise the dead.
