In Christ Alone...
Its past a month since my parents have gone for their Sabbathical leave. Really miss them so much. Another 2 more months to go.. oh well..
Anyway, I was clearing my emails and den saw this from "Worship Together" where i subscribed to their newletter. Then there is this article where they shared a story and song which really touched me, especially the song.

The lyrics to the hymn is really meaningful and it goes like:
Artist - Newsboys
Album - Various Songs
Lyrics - In Christ Alone
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift if love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Til on the cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ in I live
Verse 3
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 us mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
Verse 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is power 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
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ
I'll stand 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.
Somehow, it brought me back to my Faith where I'm convinced of it even more.. then I thought back on an excerept from the book "Rachel's tears", where she wrote in her diary:
" I am not going to apologise for speaking the Name of Jesus, I am not going to justify my faith to them and I am not going to hide the light that God has given to me. If I have to sacrifice everything...I will."
It says how much of Faith that she has put into God and truely, if we stand with God, no one else can go against us.
Faith On!
