Today in chapel we sang this song. I've heard it a few times, but it really caught my attention (which at 9am is saying quite a lot). I felt like it was speaking to me. I admit to being a bit skeptical of those who claim to be "hearing the voice of God", but I certainly believe that the Holy Spirit does work in and around us. On a few rare occasions I've been totally convinced that I was moved by the Holy Spirit, but most of the time that isn't the case. Today wasn't a break down crying, utterly overwhelemed by the spirit moving moment. It was more of a gentle breeze. Simple words I so needed to hear whispered. The words seemed to be directed right at me. I'm not usually the type to post song lyrics and such (because no one ever really reads them), but I just felt like posting them. For my own benefit if nothing else.

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song.
This conerstone, 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 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
