CityAlight - Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me

Philippians 4:6-7

--------------------------

Hello!

Recently I heard music from the Christian group CityAlight, who call St Paul's, Castle Hill, Australia home.

They focus on music for the church—as their website declares:

"The sound of a church singing has preceded almost every great revival in church history. The church is God’s witness and representative on earth. Is there any wonder that a tremendous power comes about when the representative voice of God in the earth is singing.

We desire to get out of the way so the truth upon which all our songs are built can properly shine. We pray that the lyrics and melodies of these songs would fix eyes and hearts and minds on Jesus. We pray that our songs might join the many thousands of songs written through history to encourage the church, and when they have played their role, to make way for the next ones. And we rejoice that one day the only name left standing will be the name of Jesus, as it should be.

Yours together in Jesus’ service,
The CityAlight Team"

Below you'll find their live performance video of, Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me—recorded during a worship service at St Paul's.

Lyrics are shown in the video and also included under it.

Whether you have been a Christian for many years—or are only just hearing the call of Jesus the Christ and Messiah—it is always my prayer and purpose with this blog that you will embrace and cling to the fullness of the Lord of lords, and King of kings, Jesus—and grow strong in the understanding and knowledge of the real meaning of His abundant Grace and Mercy He purchased for us through His Love, Sacrifice, and death and resurrection.

Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me - Lyrics
Words and music by Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson & Michael Farren

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus 
For my life is wholly bound to His 
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing: all is mine! 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Savior He will stay
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me 
Through the deepest valley He will lead 
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome! 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated 
Jesus now and ever is my plea 
Oh the chains are released, I can sing: I am free! 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus 
All the glory evermore to Him 
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat: 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me! 

Repeats

When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!

✝   Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 

---------------------------------

If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.

Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.

Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.

God Bless!
