In Christ Alone


I watched the Passion again this week. Watching it brings mind renewal- to have in the forefront of my mind what Jesus did for us. I love Him. His humility, no defending of His name, His love, His determination and steadfastness of the cross. As I watched my Savior walking to Calvary, bruised, scouraged, crushed and His soul grieved to the point of death the verse that popped into my mind was- for the joy set before Him, He endured the cross. As I was driving today I heard this song on the radio:

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.

2nd Corinthians 5:21 "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Wow- to TRULY understand this- our LIVES WOULD CONTINUALLY BE RENEWED AND FOREVER CHANGED, FOREVER GRATEFUL. Thank you, my God, my Lord, my Savior, my righteousness.....
