In Christ Alone

This past week I've been realizing (again?) just how much I must rely on Christ alone. He has reminded me that He is the source of everything. He is the best provider, the best comforter, the best Father, the best friend, etc. I cannot look to man to fulfill these roles. I must instead look to God to meet all my needs.

In Christ Alone

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 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 it’s 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, or scheme of
man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
‘Till He
returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ
I’ll stand

To be honest - this is one of my absolute favorite worship songs. I was listening to it a little bit before everyone got here tonight haha.
