Happy New Year!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

May we all remain mindful of our rear-view-mirrors, while keeping our true focus on the roads ahead of us. “The old has gone” and a new day is upon us. Let us put our best foot forward, and our hope and faith in Christ alone.

“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, 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” – In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found), Song by Adrienne Camp and Geoff Moore & The Distance.
