In Christ Alone - Brian Littrell

In Christ Alone will I glory
Though I could Pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed without measure
And by His strength alone I 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 od Strengh
My Source of Hope
Is Christ Alone

In Christ Alone will I glory
For only by His Grace, I am redeemed
And only His tender Mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my yield
And now I seek no greater honour
Than just to KNOW Him more
And I count my days with losses
To the Glory of my Lord

....the essence of the love of God is not the fruit of the love of God....
love of God is the heart esteem and the delight for Him before it produces anything..
it is not in Its essence a deliberate choice nor a deed..
it is a reflect of a newborn heart - the called heart to the beauty of God in Christ..
it is life that produces the love of God...
