In Christ Alone

About In Christ Alone

"In Christ Alone" is a popular modern Christian song written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, both songwriters of Christian hymns and contemporary worship music in the United Kingdom. The song, with a strong Irish melody, is the first hymn they penned together. The music was by Getty and the original lyrics by Townend. It was composed in 2001. "In Christ Alone" is considered a Christian credal song for belief in Jesus Christ. The theme of the song is the life, death and resurrection of Christ, and that he is God whom even death cannot hold. The song is commonly known as "In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found)" and "In Christ Alone (I Stand)" taking verses from the song. It has become very popular and has been the subject of many cover versions and many language translations. The Getty/Townend song should not be confused with the similarly titled song "In Christ Alone" co-written by Don Koch and Shawn Craig, originally recorded by Michael English on his self-titled debut solo album Michael English, and many others. more »

In Christ alone will I glory 
Though I could pride myself in battles won 
For I've been blessed beyond measure 
And by His strength alone I overcome 
Oh, I could stop and count successes 
Like diamonds in my hand 
But those trophies could not equal 
To the grace by which I stand

In Christ alone I place my trust 
And find my glory in the power of the cross 
In every victory let it be said of me 
My source of strength, my source of hope 
Is Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory 
For only by His grace I am redeemed 
Only His tender mercy 
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need 
Now I seek no greater honor 
Than just to know Him more 
And to count my things but losses 
To the glory of the Lord

In Christ alone I place my trust 
And find my glory in the power of the cross 
In every victory let it be said of me 
My source of strength, my source of hope 
Is Christ alone I place my trust 
And find my glory in the power of the cross 
In every victory let it be said of me 
My source of strength, my source of hope 
Is Christ alone

My source of strength, my source of hope 
Is Christ alone
