“In Christ alone my hope is found…”

I love how God speaks to us through songs and how our bodies and souls are so integrated to respond to music.

Given that my name is Melody, it would be easy to surmise that I am musically inclined and wouldn’t be a shame it if wasn’t so? Lol I’m glad it is.

I wanted to encourage you with the lyrics of this beautiful song that you may or may not have heard before.

For when life is hard, unpredictable, seemingly cold and unfair, it is our ultimate hope in Christ that we should turn to, as He is the only thing never-changing, ever true, always there.

In Christ Alone Listen on itunes here.

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
‘Til 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

>>Final Thought: Have a beautiful day and may these powerful words echo in your mind today that you were bought for a price—the lamb of God died for you.

Your sister in Christ,
~Dr. Melody
