The Scriptures Point to Christ Alone

This hymn text was written to the tune SOLID ROCK (My hope is built on nothing less) about how the Scriptures are meant to point to Christ (John 5:39).

Lyrics

My hope will rest upon the Word,
The living truths which I have heard;
In ev'ry page, by faith, I see
The Christ who lived and died for me.
The scriptures point to Christ alone,
In ev'ry line His face is shown;
The scriptures point to Christ alone.

I cannot find eternal life
Within the words of black and white;
Come, Spirit, turn these letters red
For then my needy soul is fed.
The scriptures point to Christ alone,
In ev'ry line His face is shown;
The scriptures point to Christ alone.

The law and Prophets point to Him
Whose power changes from within;
United to this glorious end-
They lead me to the sinner's friend.
The scriptures point to Christ alone,
In ev'ry line His face is shown;
The scriptures point to Christ alone.
