Music to my ears..

I love music..mostly all kinds music...80's; Country and Christian...some Pop. I've always Loved music, and can usually remember the words to the songs and who sings them. Mom used to always say she wished the teachers would sing to the lessons. Because I could remember lyrics to songs better than my school lessons. LOL. Well Sunday we sang a new hymn and I love it..love the words to this hymn. Not that I don't love all the words to all the hymns, but these words have been stuck in my my mind. If I could put the music on here I would, because was beautiful also. Here are the words.

In Christ Alone

In Christ along, my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
First 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 helplessness babe.
This gift of love, and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save;
Yet on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For every sing 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
Sins curse has lost it grip on me;
For I am his and he is mine,
Bought with the precious blood of Christ!

No guilt in life, no fear of 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;
Til he returns, or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
(Keith Getty & Stuart Townend)
