Yes another long time since I've blogged... Blogging from London right now... about to leave but decided I write rather than study as a I wait for shums to go back to TO.
Its been a refreshing weekend. Con and Simon took care of me and fed me well =) but also good laughs, cries but also ultimately just constantly being reminded what easter is all about, what Jesus did for us...
Another song that has touched many in London, ACF =)
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
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every 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 power 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
Things I'm thankful for:
- Supa: awesome sister who cheered me up the whole weekend, including the day she usually calls me "old cake." Yup I'm a quarter century =p
- Simon: thanks for being there all the time
- Rosey, Cheryl and Matthea: banana bread hmm...
- Julianne came to church today! yay!
- Jesse: God is working at western dents =)
- And just for friends that love and care for me...
