my hope is found.
This song. Time and time again, when I've been hurting. When I've been lost. When I'm sad. I turn it on, and it helps heal my heart. It's a balm to the wounded soul. This is the song. This is my anthem.
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
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
It's good to know that Jesus never fails.

Ahh I love this song, it is definitely one of my favourite hymns! Getty, yes?
ReplyDeleteI love that song. Have you ever heard, "You are My All in All"? I think you'd like it.
ReplyDeleteIndeed I have! And you are correct, I do like it! I was practically raised with that song; I remember singing it and listening to it with my mom many times. I haven't heard it in a while but I still do love it. It's beautiful.
DeleteI love this song! It's so beautiful! <3
ReplyDeleteOh! Sky! I have to agree that this song has helped me so many times.
ReplyDeleteI think it was last month that I was really struggling with some internal stuff.
I went out to the barn to feed my animal and started singing hymns. This one came to mind and as I sang it I just overflowed with joy and tears. It is so powerful.
Ellyn! Thank you for commenting, it really did make my day.
DeleteI love that story. ♥ Thank you for being open and willing to share it with me! My favorite part is that it took place in a barn. It reminds me that God often speaks in the humblest and most vulnerable of places. That strikes me as quite symbolic.
I too struggle with lots of internal stuff, especially lately, and so this song has really helped speak to me and heal my heart. It's beautiful, and, like you said, so powerful. I love it.
Never ever ever. No matter how inconstant and changeable we are.
ReplyDeleteBlessing, hugs, and love to you, my dear.
Aw, thank you, my Katie-dear. You are marvelous.
DeleteThank you for reminding me of that; it's something I always need to hear, no matter how happy or sad I am.
Never. Ever. Ever. ♥
Hugs and love to you, too. This comment means the world to me, as well as your friendship and support.
Ahhhhh... I love this song. One of my favorites definitely. :)

Indeed, I do concur. And this, my dear Lia, is one of the many reasons why we are friends! Miss you, girly! *love and hugs*
DeleteI feel the exact same way about this song. I'm constantly playing it over and over when I'm struggling through something. And it never seems to fail to get me teary-eyed. It's so beautiful with such powerful lyrics.
ReplyDelete"My Comforter, my All-in-all ." Jesus truly is.
I love this song too. :) It's so beautiful and reassuring.
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I relate as well. Some Christian music really gets on my nerves, for reasons too numerous to list here. But I love songs like these, that cut past all the meaningless religion and extra "fluff", that state the simple truth of God's love, and truly reach the core of who I am and who God is. Those are the songs that really touch my heart.
ReplyDeleteIt was my absolute pleasure; thank you for stopping by.
I love this song so much. So lovely, and so full of so much truth. One of my all time favourites.
