In Christ Alone

We sang this song this morning at church and I became so overwhelmed with praise and thanksgiving. Please, PLEASE take the time to read these words.

In Christ Alone

Stuart Townend, Keith Getty

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
Till 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 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
Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

I'm thinking I could go a little shorter, but I like it more in person than I do in the pics. Of course the picture from the side I'm squinting from the sun so I look kind of silly. I've asked Dustin before how he likes my hair fixed and he says in a pony tail. He's a very simple guy.

By they way the lyrics are beautiful.
