Yet not I but through Christ in me | CITY ALIGHT bamboo flute cover | Scandinavia Denmark | WORSHIP

Описание: Do you know "City Alight"? It's a band which creates beautiful worship songs. I made a cover of their famous tune "Yet not I, but through Christ in me" with one of my bamboo flutes, named "Bansuri".
As I didn't know what kind of video material I should use, I simply shot some film footage during our holiday on the Scandinavian North Sea coast (Sondervig, Denmark). And somehow it fits well: God, nature, all these things... you can hardly look at this attributes separately.

By the way... Our vacation week in Scandinavia was soooo wonderful. I already miss the impressive nature, the little oven we had in our holiday home - and the incredible silence. ♥

It's strange with these worship songs. I often don't agree one hundred percent with the lyrics and they are often very Jesus-centred, but they have a strong attraction for me and I really love to play them with my bamboo flute... As I said before - these worship songs make my heart grow wide.
This song in particular appealed to me, as I am very interested in Christian mysticism, and the lyrics can certainly be interpreted mystically.

Check out the original song - it's georgeous!
   • CityAlight - Yet Not I But Through Christ ...  

Here are the lyrics, for those who are interested:

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 Saviour He will stay
I labour 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's 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"

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"
