Ever So Thankful…

This morning as I finished up my quiet time, I took some still moments to just listen to the words of the song “Christ Alone” stir my spirit. As I watched the sun rise, the shadows on the still lake reflect the picture-perfect tree line, butterflies and birds moving about it was all glorious! I was deeply reminded of what a Great God we serve. If you have not paid attention to those words in some time…may they encourage you today.
 
Also, just an update on Brazil. To registration go to www.purejoyinternatiaonal.org Dates of Retreat are October 16-19, 2019. It will be in Sao Paulo, Brazil. If you are or know a missionary woman serving internationally in South American or surrounding countries, don’t miss the opportunity. The only thing you/they must do is get to and from the conference, your hotel and meals are taken care of by those that have a heart to support missionary women. We have just over half of the missionary women sponsored as of today. Please continue to pray and give as He leads.

IN CHRIST ALONE
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 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 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 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
