Lyrics to the song, In Christ Alone

    Introduction

Hello, friends and family. Welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I, a Mother of Gooses, write recipes, lyrics, whatever you want. 

And today, we are looking at the lyrics to the song, In Christ Alone. 

It is a fairly new song written by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townsend, in 2001. But, for a modern song, it's really nice. In fact, it is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it's very difficult to find a decent recording of someone singing it, but I finally did. 

So if you don't know how the tune goes, go to Squirrel 24, or Keith and Kristyn Getty on YouTube; those are some of the better recordings. 

Now, on with the show!

    The Lyrics 

Verse 1

In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song;

This corner stone, 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 of love, and righteousness,

Scorned by the ones he came to save.

'Til 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.

Verse 3 

There is 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 precious blood of Christ.

Verse 4

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.

And no power of hell, no scheme of man, 

Can ever pluck me from his hand.

'Til he returns, or calls me home,

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.


Afterwards

I just love the last verse, don't you? I really love the whole song, but the last verse is super relevant to my life.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
