The ladies on an e-mail list that I'm on were sharing some of our favorite hymn/praise and worship lyrics and I thought I would share mine with you.  If you have the time, PLEASE watch the YouTube video that I included the link to.  When our praise team does this at our church I play Irish penny whistle.

In Christ Alone (My Hope is Found)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcpLZgCwcEE&feature=related

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 strifings 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 ev’ry 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 pow’r of Christ in me.

From life’s first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

‘til He returns, nor cause me harm;

Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.

Blessings from Ohio, Kim Wolf<><

Kim,

I just went through your blog and I enjoyed it very much. What fun you have with it. I am sad to say, you are not the only one who said the homecoming game was not so much fun. I don't know if you remember Kathy Isham, but she and I stayed in touch through the years and we still keep in touch. I would love to see again sometime. Maybe when I come back up to Ohio next spring. I try not to travel up in the winter anymore, as I get too sick when I get home. I am tooo old anymore for that cold bone chilling weather....lol Keep in touch with me hon, I love getting your news.

Love,
Shelly
