In Christ Alone

This morning i felt such an urge to hear the song 'In Christ Alone' again.
i heard this song when i was v young
n i still rmb how deeply moved i was by the power of its lyrics, the message behind the song, and the love of God.

so i decided to find it on Youtube this morn.
n i feel so refreshed by it once again(:

In Christ Alone
by Adrienne Liesching and Geoff Moore

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.

its such a song of faith.

sometimes i worry too much abt some stuff
like when im out, i'll be like 'oh no, i still have hw at home waiting for me to do'

n one day i just saw a fellow churchmate's msn nick:
'I'll keep going until i finish, coz Jesus is for me(='

then i got reminded again why do i worry so much abt my schwork
when my life is so much more than work.
i need to know when to focus on work, when not to.
my life is for God, friends, people, joy n many more.
n sch is just one part.
n sch can be a platform for His Glory to be shown.
not just a place to mug dryly.
let work not be a chore, but something to accomplish with His Strength.

n this journey shall be a fruitful n meaningful one,
because i have Him to walk with.
