In Christ Alone

Our Bible study this week has been focusing on the concept of Salvation and the love God has for us. As I went running, this was the first song on my iPod. We used to sing this at Redeemer, and I had forgotten what a beautiful song it is musically and also lyrically.

In Christ Alone Performed by Adrienne Liesching & Geoff Moore Words and Music by Stuart Townend & Keith Getty In Christ alone my heart 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, Fulness 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 Sins 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 death 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. © 2002 Kingsway's Thankyou Music (ASCAP/PRS)
