Solus Christus

Nothing I have done - or ever will do - for Rachel, through Rachel, or because of Rachel is of myself or in my strength.  It was all His plan from before the beginning of time and He prepared me in advance for the work He had set out for me to do.

Not to us, but to His name be the glory....

These are the lyrics to the song playing first on my blog now.... 

"In Christ Alone"

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
