Do you realize that every day gone by is one day closer to eternity? Are we ready to face our Maker for all that we have done on this earth? You know the Lord speaks through us in many different ways...many times trying to get our attention.
One of the ways the Lord speaks to me is through songs. I love singing and I love music. Often if I feel down and discouraged I put on Worship songs, or I put on a Gaither DVD...and its like the Lord quiets my soul and prepares me to listen to what He has to say to me. Often in our busy world we don't take the time to quietly listen for the voice of God because we are "just too busy"...however that excuse will not work when we meet our Maker. We need to start listening now..."draw near to God and He will draw near to you". "Be still and know that I am God..." Ps 46...yes we need to be still and listen for God is speaking to us.
So again I want to share with you a favorite song of mine...a song where the Lord often speaks to me...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 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.
Praise the Lord for our risen Saviour!
