An Awakening

Jump to Comments

I have found that one way the Lord often speaks to me is through song, and such was the circumstance yesterday at church.  We were singing, what I learned to be a not so old hymn, “In Christ Alone”.  When we came to the third and fourth stanzas I was overcome…  

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 of 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

… with the thought of how I was part of the darkness that placed Him in the ground.  Yet through His love and mercy He paid such a great price so that I might find forgiveness, freedom, and salvation.  I was brought to tears as I thought of His life living in me and the amazing power that I can walk in today on this Earth.  I so long to hear Him say, “Well done,” because I have lived my life in such a way that shows Him that I am so grateful for the sacrifice that He made for me.   I want to live every day of my life listening for his voice, watching to see what He’s doing, and being obedient when He asks me to step out and do His work. These thoughts are overwhelming to me but also exciting because I know that if I make myself available He’ll use me to help other people find freedom.  Just some thoughts to ponder.  

I wish I could figure out how to upload music.  If anyone can help please let me know.  :)  Make sure you go take a listen though.  It’s worth the time.   Blessings,  Meghan
