In Christ Alone!

Just a song that I have been listening to over and over again this week, but it is so much more than a song...

In Christ Alone
My hope is found
He is my Light, my Stength, my Song
This Cornerstore
This Solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love
What depths of peace
When fears are still
When striving 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 depths of Christ
I live

There in the ground
His body lay
Light of the world
The darkness slain
Then bursting forth
In glorious day
Up from the grave
He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin has lost its grip on me
For I am His
And He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

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 stand


Thank You Lord for the victory we have in You! Thank You that nothing can separate us from Your love. Thank You that when we draw near to You, You draw near to us. Thank You that we can rest in Your destiny for our lives, because it's good. Your heart for Your children is always good. Thank You for the peace that comes with knowing that You are God and You are in control. Thank You for taking on the sin of the world and for making us righteous. By Your wounds, we are healed. Without Your gift of love on the cross, we could not stand in victory. Thank You for dying, for resurrecting on the third day, and for that same victory and power that You give Your children. You alone are our All in All. On You alone can we stand!
