Welcome!  Hymns have been and continue to be a real source of inspiration to me.  My desire in this blog is to share special hymns with my readers hoping that the words will minister to them, especially in times of great personal need.  If one of these hymns ministers to you, please take time to leave a comment so that I know that my blog is helping others as much as it helps me. Sometimes I will also provide a link where you can go to hear the hymn played.  So, please join me here each week and sing along as we praise God together.

YET NOT I BUT THROUGH CHRIST IN ME

 

So often we try to solve the challenges of life with our own strength and wisdom but that often leads to failure and frustration.

What gift of grace is Jesus, my Redeemer

There is no more for Heaven now to giveHe is my joy, my righteousness, and freedomMy steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only JesusFor my life is wholly bound to HisOh, how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine"Yet not I, but through Christ in me
The night is dark, but I am not forsakenFor by my side, the Savior, He will stayI labor on in weakness and rejoicingFor in my need, His power is displayed
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend meThrough the deepest valley, He will leadOh, the night has been won, and I shall overcomeYet not I, but through Christ in me
No fate I dread, I know I am forgivenThe future's sure, the price, it has been paidFor Jesus bled and suffered for my pardonAnd He was raised to overthrow the grave
To this I hold, my sin has been defeatedJesus, now and ever is my pleaOh, the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"Yet not I, but through Christ in me
With every breath, I long to follow JesusFor He has said that He will bring me homeAnd day by day, I know He will renew meUntil I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold, my hope is only JesusAll the glory evermore to HimWhen the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat"Yet not I, but through Christ in me"
To this I hold, my hope is only JesusAll the glory evermore to HimWhen the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat"Yet not I, but through Christ in me"
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat"Yet not I, but through Christ in me"Yet not I, but through Christ in meYet not I, but through Christ in me
