In Christ Alone

Pastor Todd is going to began preaching through the book of First Timothy this coming Sunday, September 16th, and we really thinks the song "In Christ Alone" is a great fit for this text, and would like it to become a "First Timothy Theme Song" of sorts. Now, he also said that the song has not been introduced to the congregation yet, so to help acquaint you with it, I've posted the lyrics here so you can get familiar with them. I'd also recommend the audio recording of the song by the authors, so you can use it as a tool for personal worship during your week (put it on your iPod/iPhone, burn it onto a CD to listen to in your car, etc.).

"In Christ Alone"
By Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
Copyright 2001 ThankYou Music

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
The 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!

I'd encourage you to print out these lyrics so you can learn the song, and come Sunday morning ready to rejoice with our brothers and sisters in the Lord!
