In Christ Alone My Hope is Found

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

I think many of us know the words to this great old Hymn, In Christ Alone. If sung in Church we would sing along maybe throw in a few harmony notes. But, do we truly know what we are singing? Or what they say? Through my sisters wedding, where they used this lovely hymn,  I began to actually think about them. 

In Christ ALONE my HOPE is FOUND. 

Thus through Christ, the Son of the Most High Lord, who came in the flesh to the very Earth he created; In him ALONE we are REDEEMED. We were living in darkness and despair but now a light shines through.  We no longer need to be in sorrow; for we have been FOUND. And now we have HOPE! To me this has been monumental. I realized I need not fear, for God is in complete control of my life. So fear and worry is doubting his immense power and authority. This being said, I still struggle with fear and doubt as every human. But, now as believers our HOPE has been FOUND. And the key to the Hope box is JESUS CHRIST. The Beginning, the Eternal, the Author, Perfecter, The KING, our Rock, our Redeemer...

What a Gift. 

Now what will we do with this marvelous gift?
