This weekend I joined in the music group at my home church as I often do, and one of the songs we did was one I had been looking for to use in a bible study group in Swansea. I had no idea where it was from, only that I knew the first line. And, as coincidence would have it, it was used in a churches together 'cafe-style' service at home. Worship was informal and included discussion, meditation and tea and biscuits!! But, even in this relaxed setting, when we sang this song, I could feel a change in that room, as people really connected, and the words they sang were meaningful, not just another hymn to get through. The first verse really got through to me.
In Christ alone my heart 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
