In Christ Alone

     Sometimes the power of a song amazes me. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I haven't thought of it in a while, but we sang it in church this evening and the words ring with such power, I close my eyes and am ushered in to the throne room of our Living God. The amazing love of Christ resounds in the lyrics and you can't help for praise God for all that he is. The last two verses are so full of victory, it nearly brings me to joyous tears every time I hear it. Listen to this song today and remember all that Christ has done for you, is doing for you and the GOOD plans he has for your future. You are loved by such an amazing God. Go. Shout it to the world. 

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt of life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

‘til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
