In Christ Alone

By the way, this is my new favorite hymn. It's actually a modern song but if you don't know it or haven't listened to the words, click on it over to the left. I am listening to it several times a day! It's hard to get through right now without tears but I am so grateful for them. They are tears of thankfulness, I don't have to walk this road alone and neither does Maura. No matter what comes, God is in control.

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!

  2. I think so, too. I just discovered it not long ago, so it's new to me.
