In Christ Alone

November 26, 2006    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

A Song......of praise!

November 14, 2006im 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
