In Christ Alone

In Christ Alone
Sang by: Brian Littrel 

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 

You can listen to this beautiful song here

Okay, I know he was one of the Backstreet Boys, and here he is singing a Christian song. But the lyrics are beautiful, and really summarizes what I’ve been learning in 1 John, that Christianity is Christ. I do hope, that in this new year, I will be able to live my life as the song puts it so precisely. 

Job search has turned up empty, with a few insulting offers for me to do jobs paying me $5.25 to $5.50 an hour, before CPF deduction. Yet, staying at home isn’t the solution. Hopefully, something decent comes in soon.
