Theology Sunday... In Christ Alone

Of course on Sunday church service it is not all sermons, there is the singing as well.

So today for Theology Sunday, a song, although the song itself is a sermon in itself.

In Christ alone.

There is nothing else to save us, there is no other power above him, there is nothing else to place my life into.

In Christ alone. My all in all.

Here is a link to the Newsboys version on itunes.

Here is a video that someone stitched together(they won't let me embed it)

Finally the lyrics:

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 every 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 it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought 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

By the way - let it be now known -that this is to be one of the sings at my funeral - hopefully decades away - but you get the picture
