Seize the Moment – Day 1131

Today’s modern hymn focus will be

Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

 1 Corinthians 15:20(NASB95)   

 

 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.”

 

This modern-day hymn was written in 2020 by a group of songwriters from the Getty Music group. In a time where things in life appeared to be dark and grim, they wanted to create a song that reminds us of the hope of the resurrection. Our hope comes from putting our trust in the One who took on death, then crushed its power by His resurrection. We as Christians can sing hallelujah because we have the hope and promise of a glorious future.

 

            What is our hope in life and death? Christ alone, Christ alone.

            What is our only confidence? That our souls to Him belong

 

We need to wake up and ask ourselves this question: What is our only comfort in life and death? It is our blessed hope and faith in Jesus! That is the only statement that can transform how we live each day.

Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

 

What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to him belong.
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

 

(Chorus)
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
 
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is his grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
 

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, he lives; Christ, he lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.
