My Light, My Strength, My Song

In Christ Alone
By Keith Getty and Stewart Townsend

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 ev'ry 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 pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,Can ever pluck me from His hand;

Till He returns or calls me home—Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.


I wish that I could take credit for those awesome lyrics! That song is one of my absolute favorites because it is an awesome picture of Christ's love for us!

I think that the reason most people have the problems that they do, it's because they forget to make God their everything...and I know that even for me, it is hard to do that sometimes..especially when we are wanting something to happen and to we take it upon ourselves to move things along..when in reality we should let God be our everything and trust in HIM to lead us.

So, this is my challenge. It is a challenge to myself as well as whoever reads this blog....let God be in y our life...let him be your light, your strength, your song. Let him do for you what he wants to. By not doing that, we are only cheating ourselves from the wonderful things he wants for us!
