.in {christ} alone.

so you've heard of the band {owl city}
or maybe you haven't.
well the lead singer is adam young.
remember {this}
along with being enchanted to meet t. swift,
i think this guy has a heart for the Lord.

take a look at this {blog} post from back in october.
i love the tenderness of his heart when talking about this song.
{in christ alone} is one of my favorites.
and his version of this song is also my new favorite.
so simple. so raw. so real.
...
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.

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 power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
...
absolutely nothing can pluck you from the hand of God.
He holds you always.
let your hope only be found in Him.
