In Christ Alone

My favorite Song of all time is In Christ Alone.  There are many versions by many artists, I enjoy most all of them.  The first time I heard it was at Easter Chapel my freshman year of college.  My roommate and I came back to our dorm and wrote the lyrics to the song on our windows.  My favorite line is, "Jesus Commands my Destiny", a close second, "for I am his and he is mine".  Just thought I would share.

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

'Til 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, 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 power of Christ in me
From a life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand

'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand
