Since I came across this song awhile ago, it has been very encouraging to me - especially the last verse. It is especially encouraging since America is turning her back on God. It may be not be very far off that Christians will be persecuted in the U.S. Now, of course, ultimately, I go to the Bible for strength, courage, and comfort. This song just, pretty much, I guess, sums up those things that I find very comforting in the Bible. Anyway, I figured I'd post the lyrics here... and by the way, I do have this song on my playlist - it's the last song.
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 a 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 depth 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 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.
In Chrst Alone,
