A Very Special Song

I love the words of this song though I do not know who wrote it. It expresses all God has done for me when He gave us His son, first as a helpless babe and then in allowing Jesus to die in our/my place, and offering us/me eternal life thru His resurrection. It contains the complete Gospel! I am so glad I've accepted God's gift of salvation in Jesus. Have you? Since Easter is just a week away, I thought now would be an appropriate time to post the song. As you read, think about the words; they are so precious. (the bold is just to separate verses.)

IN CHRIST ALONE

In Christ alone my heart 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 depth 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 my 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 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 death,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand.

'Til He returns or calls me home,

Here in the pow'r of Christ I stand.

No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand.

'Til He returns or calls me home,

Here in the pow'r of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song.
