Music



I never really knew how much I enjoyed music. Often I find myself sing and remixing different songs. Which brings me to this one. In Christ alone has had such a major impact on my life. I remember first hearing it Summer 2006 at a evening worship serve at Eastwood. So I had the song sheet and I was like if this anit' the gospel then what is. So I continued to sing it mess up the original tune, one day the Projects worship team finish practicing and my boy Alvin Melton was playing this song in a different style. I mean the truth and good music it was great. From then on this has be my theme. Every time I hear it, it gives me the chills. Read it I'm sure it will have that impact:
In Christ Alone
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 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.
By: Stuart Townend, Keith Getty

So just imagine I have been sing this since the recent Lord's day.

  1. I remember you singing this song all the time... in class, at your apartment, in the middle of studying..... ALL THE TIME!!! Often times I remember this song and I have to think about you and how this song really became apart of you! I never realized how much this song describes Christ and His love for the world, and how much truth it holds... WOW!! Who wouldn't believe in God!! He loves us so much and these lyrics really puts it into perspective.
