In Christ Alone
With all I have on my plate these days - hubby, kids, work, house, dinner, laundry to name a few, I often get so busy and caught up in the details of life that I lose perspective. This Holy week, I made it a point to try and slow down a little, to re-focus on who it is I'm living for and try and live my days with my priorities in place. In working on this, I popped in one of my favorite singer's Cd's (Natalie Grant). She sings this amazing song - "In Christ Alone" - and I just could not get enough of it this week. In a short few paragraphs it sums up how He became one of us, died for our sins, but in the end was victorious - all on my behalf. God is greater than every circumstance happy or sad, every problem, every joy and every disappointment. There is nothing that can separate us from His love. Sometimes I have trouble grasping His greatness, but thankfully even that inability to grasp won't break His greatness. He is in control, He is Great, and He is my Comfort, and I am so thankful for that! Happy Easter!!
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 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.
