In Christ Alone Will I Glory

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

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

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 will I glory! Studying John 18 and 19. It was amazing to see Pilate struggle so much to show the Jews that he was on their side. He knew who Christ was, but he was afraid of the crowd and afraid of losing his position of "power". Our Lord will be victorious in this battle between good and evil. And there is no fear of man for God created man. There is no fear of losing our positions because our glory is not found here on earth, but it is found in Christ alone! I can trust Him fully!

I love the line in this song, "I seek no other honor than just to know Him more. And count my gains but losses to the glory of the Lord." It is such an honor to know the Lord more and more! That coupled with "losses" that bring the Savior glory are sufficient blessings to make me a truly happy woman!
