Sunday Thoughts...

I had forgotten how much I loved this hymn until I heard it again recently. Through Christ there is always hope to reach for, there is always light to look to...
"I believe in Christ, so come what may"...this is something I am striving to live by...and hope to continue to get better at it each day...

"I believe in Christ; he is my King!
With all my heart to him I’ll sing;
I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand Amens my tongue employ.

I believe in Christ; he is God’s Son!
On earth to dwell his soul did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raised.
Good works were his, his name be praised.

I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!
As Mary’s Son he came to reign.
‘Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,
To save them from the woes of sin.

I believe in Christ; who marked the path!
Who did gain all the Father hath.
Who said to men, Come, Follow Me,
That ye, my friends, with God may be.”

I believe in Christ – my Lord, my God!
My feet he plants on gospel sod.
I’ll worship him with all my might;
He is the source of truth and light.

I believe in Christ; he ransoms me!
From Satan’s grasp he sets me free.
And I shall live with joy and love
In his eternal courts above.

I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I’ll gain my fondest dream.
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard;“Ye shall obtain.”

I believe in Christ; so come what may!
With him I’ll stand in that great day,
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men."

Here is a link to a beautiful video. It plays the music to this hymn and has some of the hymn author's own words.
