Song: In Christ Alone

Everyday is a day of thanksgiving to my Triune God (Father God, Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit).

Yesterday, 23 May 09, Saturday, Holy Spirit is at work again. At the back of my mind is singing a worship song. I know the music but not quite sure of the lyrics. Today on Sunday Service, the song was sang at the end of the service. Then I realise this is the song that God put in my heart.

My good friend who sit next to me told me I can find the song by typing “lyric In Christ Alone Hymn” in Google.

Praise the Lord. I found the lyrics in a blog, David Jordan’s Mind
And it is sang in Youtube:

The lyrics:
In Christ Alone
By Stuart Townend and Keith Getty

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 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.
