I Believe in Christ

I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful, and know that he atoned for me, and everything I go through. I know that He knows what I am going through, and I can use that power, and that help in my life. I am grateful to be able to renew the covenants I have made each week in Sacrament Meeting, and to remember the Atonement.
This is one of my favorite hymns, and it is also my testimony, and I feel the power in the words each time I sing it:

I Believe in Christ; he is my King!
With all my heart to him I'll sing;
I'll raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is God's Son.
On earth to dwell his soul did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raised.
Good works were his; his name be praised.

I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!
As Mary's Son, he came to reign
'Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,
To save them from the woes of sin.
I believe in Christ, who marked the path,
Who did gain all his Father hath,
Who said to men, "Come, follow me,
That ye, my friends, with God may be."

I believe in Christ- my Lord, my God!
My feet he plants on gospel sod.
I'll worship him with all my might;
He is the source of truth and light.
I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.
From Satan's grasp, he sets me free,
And I shall live with joy and love
In his eternal courts above.

I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I'll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: "Ye shall obtain."
I believe in Christ; so come what may,
With him I'll stand, in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.

(Hymn 134, Text by: Bruce R. McConkie)

I feel like I can always just say, "Amen" at the end of that song. I especially love the last verse, where it says, "I believe in Christ; so come what may". That helps me through anything that I am going through, because no matter what happens, I know that if I hold strong to my faith in Jesus Christ, I will be ok, and things will work out.
