Hive Open mic Week 265: In Christ Alone (cover) by @joshuabbey

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello everyone I am @joshuabbey how are you doing over there? This is another week for hive open mic which I believe that it will be a wonderful week, because there will be a lot of artists who will be posting into the community. The last week Theme was "strength" but this week it's another theme, and this week theme is a special one. Especially in the sense that everyone of us we pass through a situation like being in Rain. So the team for this week is through the rain.

This week I will be singing a popular song "In Christ alone" I'll be doing the cover of this song accompanied by keyboard. Why am I singing this song for this week? The reason is that we all know that we will pass through situation like being in rain, and when you are in situations like this, the most important thing is how we can come out of such situations which can be a terrifying situation.

To come out of such situation calls for having someone that can pull you out of such situation, and the only person that I know that can pull out of that kind of situation is Jesus. In the Bible He is called The Christ. So the song is saying that without Christ I am hopeless, we are hopeless but with Christ we have hope. so in Christ alone My hope is found. It is only in Christ that we can get hope even when we are in the rain.

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
'Til 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

Here goes the Lyrics in Spanish:

Solo en Cristo, mi esperanza está. Él es mi luz, mi fuerza, mi cántico. Esta piedra angular, este suelo firme. Firme ante la sequía y la tormenta más feroces. Qué alturas de amor, qué profundidad de paz. Cuando los temores se calman, cuando cesan las luchas. Mi Consolador, mi Todo en Todo. Aquí, en el amor de Cristo, me mantengo. Solo en Cristo, quien se hizo carne. Plenitud de Dios en un niño indefenso. Este regalo de amor y justicia. Despreciado por aquellos a quienes vino a salvar. Hasta que en esa cruz, cuando Jesús murió, La ira de Dios fue satisfecha. Por cada pecado que cayó sobre Él. Aquí, en la muerte de Cristo, vivo. Allí, en la tierra, su cuerpo yacía. Luz del mundo, aniquilada por la oscuridad. Luego, estallando en un día glorioso. De la tumba resucitó. Y mientras se yergue victorioso, La maldición del pecado ha perdido su dominio sobre mí. Porque soy suyo y él es mío. Comprado con la preciosa sangre de Cristo. Sin culpa en la vida. No temo a la muerte. Este es el poder de Cristo en mí. Desde el primer llanto hasta el último aliento. Jesús dirige mi destino. Ningún poder del infierno, ninguna estratagema humana. Puede arrebatarme de su mano. Hasta que regrese o me llame a casa. Aquí, en el poder de Cristo, me mantendré firme.

see you next time i am @joshuabbey
