In Christ Alone

Can we really say that our hope, our strength, our everything is found in Christ alone? Just wanted to share these lyrics that really challenged me.... 

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 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 it's 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

Awesome song that must be played as loud as your ears can stand it. Especially the last stanza.

Kari,
Praying that you are doing well. I know you're excited about coming home, but probably not nearly so much as your folks.
Grace and perfect peace,
