In Christ Alone
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

"Hello" (after ages)!!!

Ok I have not blogged here in ages and ages...so much has been going on I haven't had much time to sit down and write anything...Sorry all of you who have been asking where I've gone! ;) I haven't gone anywhere, just staying very busy. Last week, as most of you know, was the NC Bible School! This was the best Bible School I have ever been to. The Lord spoke to me in so many ways, pointed out different areas in my life He wanted me to work on, of which I am very thankful of.

For awhile I was going though a time of dryness but I feel God allowed that for me to see my need to be completely surrendered to Him in every facet of my life.

When I compare my life to Jesus' I feel so small. And I know that the more I look at Him and compare my unworthiness with His holiness I will become more like Him and then He can use me in a very real way!

He keeps giving me such a hunger to know Him, I know that for me to come to the place where He is taking me He has needed to take those things that leaned I on away so that I would lean on Him.

The message Sunday struck me so deeply as I realized anew how much he did for me and how so often I ride the fence in life without giving Him my everything because I am not willing to, and I don't love Him like I should. Jesus said; "if you love me you will keep my commandments". The way that others can see my love for Christ is if I give Him my everything.

Pray for me as I strive to seek His face and His will in my life.
