In Christ Alone

There is a song we have been singing in church for quite sometime now, and it pulls at my heart strings every time we sing it. I can barely make it through without crying and becoming a puddle on the floor during worship! The words are incredible, 100% Biblically accurate (which may sound funny, but it is amazing how many worship songs aren't, and Adam and I choose to sing the ones that are!) and overall, it is just an amazing, well-written song. If you have a second, take time to read the words...I pray they will remind you of God's goodness, faithfulness, and His grace in giving us Jesus!

In Christ Alone

- - -

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!

(I love this next verse)

- - -

No guilt in 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.
