In Christ AloneIn 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:
'Til 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 power 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;
Til He returns, or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!
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:
'Til 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.

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 power of Christ in me;

No pow'r 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!

Dear Candy,
I can't believe Jerry has been gone for a year. I went to a Beth Moore conference this weekend and we sang this song. I remembered Jerry's service in Little Rock and how you wanted us to sing this boldly. As tears rolled down my face, I sang boldly this weekend and thought of you. I had no idea it was the anniversary. I am praying for you today.I love you. You are doing an awesome job and I am so proud of you!
Your Friend,
Dana
