In Christ Alone

Today in my quiet time God used a song to really minister to my heart, the song, "In Christ Alone (I Stand)" In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my solid ground firm through the fiercest drought and storm (and questions), and from life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny. This is the truth I know, Jesus is exactly who He said he was, He is the Son of God born of a virgin, though He existed from before time, He lived as one of us for thirty-three years, then He died on Calvary's cruel cross in my place, and all who would accept His free gift, then three days later He rose, He now sits at the fathers right hand to make intercession for His own. I may have a million questions but this I know, Jesus Loves Me for the Bible tells me so. The questions I posted yesterday haven't gone away and I still long to know God's answer to them, I want to be a workman not ashamed who correctly divides the Word of Truth, I want to love Jesus His way, If you love me keep my words, So I'll keep striving to obey. My prayer will remain, God please reveal yourself to me, Holy Spirit teach me of Jesus. As God continues to challenge and peel away layers of religion in my life it is leaving me with a greater hunger to know Christ, so I'll stand on God's promise. (Jeremiah 33:3) "Call onto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." I will say with David "Open thou mine eyes,that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." (Psalm 119:18)

I was given a song when I woke up the other morning. I've never heard the song before, never even knew it existed. I woke up with the words "I'm desperate for you...I'm lost without you" in my head. I searched the internet until I found it. Sure enough, "Breath" is what it was called. Next thing, I downloaded it on iTunes.
