GOOD FRIDAE

Happy Good Friday! It's the exact time for us to do some flashback, for what He has done for us, and what would happen to us if He didn't die for Us. What the meaning of our life is, now, if He didn't die and raise for us. What we have done for Him? How much we have paid the cost to condescend ourselves to be as humble as He is. How hard we have tried to scrape off our bad habits to glorify His name. Hopefully not only today we remember His sacrifice but also everyday in our life.^^

Nah! I've just known this easy-listening song, "In Christ Alone" by Brian Litrell and found it quite touching to be sung right now. It'll help us reflect the glory of Jesus, and it's only by His grace, we are saved. Neither our strength nor our kindness.

Maybe this song is "jadul" and I know I'm out-of-date, really. I found this song yesterday. Then this afternoon I was shocked because of finding the same-titled song, "In Christ Alone" again, but by Natalie Grant, and when I read the lyric I was suddenly realized that this is the song I'd searched for since in Junior High School! I knew it when I was watching the video of "Nick Vujicic".

Nah this second song has wonderful words also, and for them who have known these songs, open ur windows media player or winamp again, play those songs again. For them who haven't known these songs yet, simply click on the link below and download them right away! Don't forget to absorb every word while singing or listening. ^^

Here are the lyrics for them both:

IN CHRIST ALONE (Brian Litrell)

In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I’ve been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I’ll overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

In Christ alone do I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
For only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
And now I seek no greater honor in just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses to the glory of my Lord

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

IN CHRIST ALONE (Natalie Grant)

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
Fulness 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.

HAPPY SINGING DEAR

~GOD BLESS US ABUNDANTLY~
