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 it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought 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
Celebrating Easter this year has been such a powerful reminder the hope we have in Christ. How beautiful his love for us is. So powerful. So undeserved. So amazing.
While being blow away by God's incredible love, I was simultaneously heartbroken by the lostness of the people I love. I so desperately want them to be able to sing the words of this song and to comprehend the power of the words. I want them to bask in the love of Christ, having no guilt in life, no fear in death. I want them to know profoundly the freedom they have in the hope that Christ has given us!
Thank you for joining with me in praying that one day these beautiful people will know without a shadow of a doubt that He stands in victory and that He has bought them with His very life, that they might have life and have it abundantly. Pray with me in the hope we have in Christ!
