    In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Conerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when striving 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 helpness 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 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 stand 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 of life, no fear of 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

im not much of a person who shares everything that happens in my life with everyone but anyways,.......here lately 2 songs have been really placed on my heart....He is Exalted and Yearn...its amazing how much God shows you in a song...the last time God showed me a lot through a song was when i was in China........

Song: Yearn

holy design
this place in time
that i might seek your face, my God
my God

Lord i want to yearn for you
i want to burn with passion
over you, and only you
Lord i want to yearn for you
i want to burn with passion
over you, and only you
Lord i want to yearn

Your joy is mine
yet why am i fine
with all my singing and bringing grain
in light of Him

Lord i want to yearn for you
i want to burn with passion
over you, and only you
Lord i want to yearn for you
i want to burn with passion
over you, and only you

oh You give life and breath
in You we live and move
that's why i sing

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is unseen is eternal."
~2 Corithians 4:16-18

My Princess....
It's Okay to CRY,
    I see how hard you try to handle your heart, and I know you want to live a life without heartaches or pain. I'm asking you to take a step closer to your Father in heaven by crying out to Me when you hurt. Let Me heal you. Remember My chosen King, David? He cried out to Me in his fears disappointments, and sin, and I answered. You are also My chosen one, and you are my daughter...IT'S OKAY TO CRY. I don't expect you to pretend that pain is not real. It is truth and tears that will give you the freedom that I want you to know. Now let go of that part of your heart that only I can heal. Let your heavenly Daddy hold you while you cry.
Love,
Your King who wipes away your tears.

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For you are who you are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

Love Through Christ!
~Rachel~

My Princess....
Let Go Of Guilt,
     All have sinned and fallen short of My glory, so why won't you forgive yourself when you fall? Don't you know that I will pick you up when you call out to Me and repent? There is no wrng that can keep Me, your King, from redeeming you back to your royal life again. Read My Word, My love; many of My chosen ones made mistakes, just as I gave each of them a new start, so will I do the same for you. now, let go of guilt, and trust Me to work out what went wrong. Just watch Me make you into the person I called you to be. I am the God of second chances, and My mercy endures forever!
Love,
Your King who removes your Guilt

My Princess....
GUARD YOUR HEART,
If I were to hand you a fragil, newborn baby girl, I know that you would protect her with your life. Your arms would be strong, your feet sure, and your eyes ever watchful. Be careful, my trusted one! For I have placed something just as precious and delicate within you. It is your heart...your very life. Treasure it! Protect it! Watch over it with all your strength. For the world and all its pleasures are like kidnappers who will stop at nothing to steal your heart away from Me and destory it. I want what is best for you, my treasured one, and although you sometimes feel that the sinful pleasures of this world dont seem harmful, they will seperate you from Me. Just as a newborn is helples without loving care, you also will suffer if your heart is taken from Me. So im asking you to guard your heart and cling to Me, the source of life.
Love,
Your King and the Life Giver.

God shows the littlest thing to me when im not execpting them!!!
