"In Christ Alone"

This song really ministered to me today on my train ride to school. Christ is really everything to me. I saw the picture of Christ, my personal Christ loving me that very moment. He was covering me and nothing could break that love of protection, no thief, no criminal, or bad spirit nothing. I was in "another realm." That presence humbled me and empowered me at the same time. I was floored by the powerful protection of Christ's love for his own. That love is so strong after two thousand years its so real. I thought what could I do to return that love besides singing my heart out internally with all my might as I pressed repeat on my Ipod? I can love instead of hate. I can be a cool Color and reflect His light instead of casting dark shadows of gloom.  It seems simple but everyone who is alive knows it is not. I can love more and try just try to love like precious Christ. To give more and care more ( to the poor, the unwanted, the forgotten, those that no one would want to watch on reality TV) I love that verse "For I am His and He is mine -Bought with the precious blood of Christ" and "From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny."  I have an awesome relationship with my Lord and Savior but I want more and so does He. Like any loving relationship we are ready to take it to the next level. He wants to see Himself in me and I do not want to disappoint the One that gives me joy. It gives me satisfaction and peace to know He will never throw me away when I get old but He will call me home with open arms. So I sing this song in worship, on the train, in the shower, with my sister, with my cousin, with my mother, as I walk my dog and on every dark corner and long hallway I have yet to journey. He is pleased with me. He loves how I worship and how I love Him and right now that's all that matters. Worship your crucified Christ, remember Him as you take communion, remember His death, celebrate His resurrection not just on "Easter Sunday" but every waking moment. His blood is still alive and still powerful. Walk with Him for your life is in His beautiful unchangeable hands. Remember He cradled you before you were born. Worship Glorified Christ because He is coming back for You and me with Victory, Passion and romance that can't be found in a Twilight novel. This is True Love, whew! I feel the butterflies I only thought a man can make me feel. I was wrong, Christ Alone.  So I CHALLENGE you to download this song and listen and sing out the lyrics. They have the power to be life changing. In Christ Alone lyrics Stuart Townend, Keith Getty 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 striving 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 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.
