This Lenny Smith song goes all the way back to 1976. It is based on Colossians 1:25-27.
The verse in in D, but the refrain goes to Am, which is quite the modulation.
The sheet music can be purchased here.
I made two backings, one of which is sensibly country:
The other, suggested by the amount of syncopation, is not sensibly Latin (but not chant):
1 Whenever the cares of life weigh on your mind
And you feel your heart going to break,
Remember the one who laid down his life;
The one who died for your sake.
Chorus 1
Christ in you the hope of glory.
He has sworn to see you through.
He will finish what he started,
Christ in you is your only hope of glory.
2 Remember the word of God you heard at first,
Remember the way it used to be,
The mystery hidden from the ages past,
Has now been revealed to you and me.
Chorus 1
3 Look up when the sun is shining in your sky.
Look up when he brings clouds your way.
Your day isn’t evil just because you cried,
You may be learning how to say.
Chorus 2
Christ in me the hope of glory.
He has sworn to see me through.
He will finish what he started,
Christ in me is my only hope of glory.
