LIFE - all i have is Christ

I once was lost in darkest night

Yet thought I knew the way.

The sin that promised joy and life

Had led me to the grave.

I had no hope that You would own

A rebel to Your will.

And if You had not loved me first

I would refuse You still.

But as I ran my hell-bound race

Indifferent to the cost

You looked upon my helpless state

And led me to the cross.

And I beheld God’s love displayed

You suffered in my place

You bore the wrath reserved for me

Now all I know is grace.

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone

And live so all might see

The strength to follow Your commands

Could never come from me.

Oh Father, use my ransomed life

In any way You choose.

And let my song forever be

My only boast is You.

All I Have is Christ

"all i have is Christ" has never been more true for me. 

when all is stripped away - 

when nothing seems to go right - 

i am left with only one thing. 

but it is not a sadness that fills my soul because "all i have is Christ." 

rather it is an inexplicable joy that:

"hallelujah! all i have is Christ! hallelujah! Jesus is my life!"

DOUBTS - remind me...

sometimes i don't know where i'm headed

sometimes i don't know what to read

sometimes i don't know how to pray

sometimes i don't know who i believe

sometimes i don't know when it'll be better

sometimes i don't know why it won't stop

and it's in those moments that i pray...

sometimes it's okay to just not know

sometimes it's okay to simply not understand

sometimes it's okay to only feel the hurt

sometimes it's okay to be wholly broken

and that's where i am right now

and my Jesus says that's okay
and my Jesus promises He is enough
that He'll always be enough

even when i hardly believe



                        

FAITH - jesus, draw me ever nearer

Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer

Jesus draw me ever nearer
As I labour through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,
and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart's testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing,

With your likeness let me wake.

Let the treasures of the trial 
Form within me as I go - 
And at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne. 

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart's testing,
With your likeness let me wake.

Abba, i know you are there. be real to us today.
