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 ev'ry 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 pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

Today we went to a play at church. It was... A revolution for me. I re-committed finally. Praise the Lord for His patience and urging for me to do so. So tonight I've been listening to all contemporary Christian music and hymns and helping others and fellowshipping. And I can't stop smiling ^-^ No matter how bad things get, He's always there. For all of us. I'm not ashamed of Him, and I'll shout it to the world: I believe in Christ Jesus, I'm born again in Him, and I love the Lord dearly. He's the best thing to happen to me. To anyone. Hallelujah is all I have left to say.

The lyrics aren't mine, they're from the song "In Christ Alone" It's my previous school's new school song(I'm homeschooled now) But I loved learning it there, and I loved singing it in chapel. I finally got around to lookin' loads of hymns and contemporary Christian songs today.

Feel free to use for anything you want: Change it up some, add your own flare to it, use it as a background if it works. Just make sure to let me know and put in an extra "Praise the Lord" from me and that you make note that the original is by me ^-^
