Feel Good Friday Song Lyrics

I am joining feel good friday which Elizabeth from MommyETC does and this week is all about sharing song lyrics that make you feel good. I had to put this one up as everytime I hear or sing it it brings tears to my eyes and gives me goosebumps. My Hubby went to the London Mens Convention at the Albert Hall last year and Stuart Townend did the music and Hubby kindly recorded them all singing this song. Wow it was so moving hearing all these men singing such a powerful song.

"In Christ Alone"
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
Copyright © 2001 Kingsway 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,
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 ev'ry 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 pow'r 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;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
I hope you enjoy them too and get to listen to the clip

That's a fantastic song! The last time I heard it was at a funeral and I think it was such an awesome song to sing. The man who died was such an AWESOME evangelist for God, though he was very shy.
