Chapters

My hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song. This cornerstone is solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, where fears are still, where striving ceases. My comforter, My heart in awe, here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone, who took on flesh, for us he died and ever lives. Faith is lived in love. And righteousness. For by the cross he came to save. Till on that cross, as Jesus died, the love of God was magnified. He would rid us sin, all in one slave. He would forget the price I paid. He stands in victory since curse has lost its grip on me. For I am his and he is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ. No scheme of man can ever pluck me from his hand. To me returns who calls me born. In the power of Christ I stand. No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from Till he returns or calls me home. Here in the power of Christ I stand.
