Then Sings My Soul Saturday

Last night our family watched the movie Amazing Grace in our family time and we were all moved deeply. Afterwards, we discussed what Jesus had done in the light of what we saw. My younger son asked me to play this song, because he said it came to his mind. After we listened to the words, we agreed it was a God-thing as we reflect on Easter. As you listen, I ask that you also reflect on the words.

*** I also invite you to go to one post down to listen to the story of The Ragman if you have never heard it before. I assure you that you will be blessed.

Then pop on over to
Amy's to hear more songs that minister. Now listen to The Newsboys singing In Christ Alone. Have a Blessed Easter Sunday.



"In Christ Alone"
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
Copyright © 2001 Kingsway Thankyou Music

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 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;
Till He returns or calls me home
—Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

Newsboys is one of the modern groups that have a deep Christian message to sing about. And this song is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing both the song and the lyrics. Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday, dear Sita.
