//no guilt in life/no fear in death//

...this is the power of Christ in me.


have you ever stopped and thought. really thought. about those words?

i mean lots of times we sing the song and our thoughts touch on those words as we pass by them, but have you ever really, REALLY taken time to think about the significance and TRUTH held in those simply lyrics?

the power of Christ IN.ME. is the reason we can go throughout our days without being weighed down by the burden of guilt and sin while we are still alive. the face that GOD went to such extremes to carry the punishment for us so that we would be able - at all! - to have the Holy Spirit living within us. it blows my mind.

because of the power of Christ IN.ME. i can go through life not having to f.e.a.r death because i know for me there is no death. for anyone who accepts Him, there is NO DEATH!!! so why should we be afraid???

THIS
is the power of Christ in me.

the power of Christ says my sins are paid for.
the power of Christ says i don't have to be afraid.
the power of Christ says there is hope.

sigh.
oh sweet truth.

Yes, amazing truth. I have always loved this song because the words resonated with me the very first time I heard it.

It's even more special now.
