Worship Wednesday - In Christ Alone

So you caught me, it's not Wednesday, but it's never too late to worship our Savior!  This song rocks my world, and I hope it does your's too.  The lyrics are amazing and so vivid...my favorite part is....wait, before I give it away, have a look and listen! {if you are on facebook, you have to click on the original post to view the video}




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
Fulness 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 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 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.

That's legit right??  I love so many things about this song, but I especially love part where it says "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."!! Gives me chills every time! I also love the imagery of the 3rd verse...."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!!!".  Can you imagine being there for that awesome event??  I can't wait to meet my maker, and sing praises to him all day long!!!  My heart soars with pride for our father when I think of all he did for us!!!
