In Christ Alone
Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
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
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisified
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 it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought 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
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Not much to really say here...the song says it all.
Jesus is...
...my hope
...the one who keeps me going when I can't go on anymore
...the one who loves me no matter what happens
...the one who never gives up on me
...the one who protects me
...the one who paid a price I couldn't pay
...the one who forgave me
...the one who gave me true life
...the one who is everything I need
...the one who I love more than anything or anyone
I hope you're not missing out on Him. I'll say it again: there is nothing that beats knowing Him. Everything is empty without Him. You can have everything in the world, and without Him, you'll still be empty. You don't have to worry about this crazy world we live in. He will help you. He will guide you. He wants to change your life. He wants to make everything new.
You...the person reading this right now. He wants to do this for you.
He's waiting for you to let Him. He wants to transform your life beyond anything you could ever possibly imagine. You're not too bad. Your life isn't too messed up. You haven't gone beyond His reach. You haven't gone beyond His love. Everything is possible with Him. Anyone can be forgiven. Come as you are and let Him make you a new creation.

Very, very awesome. Thanks for reminding us that it's never too late or that we're never too bad to turn to Him.
