I was listening to this song on the way into work today and was crying like a baby. I was just so overwhelmed by the sufficiency of Christ and the insufficiency of me. I always want to engineer my future to make it safe and secure. What I need to remember is that I can’t control my future because my future is secure through the Power of Christ. No power of Hell no scheme of man can ever take me from his hand.
In Christ Alone, written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend.
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
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
Thanks for sharing Sam. Immediately went and found the song with lyrics on YouTube and sang my heart out. Good medicine.
"And as He stands in victory

For I am His and He is mine
