Worship Set 4 - "In Christ Alone"7/10/2019 Known as modern day hymn writers, Keith Getty and Stuart Townend have co-written many great songs for the church. But perhaps the most well-known modern hymn of our day is “In Christ Alone.” Written in 2001, this song has made its way around the world and into churches small and large. It has been covered by many contemporary Christian music artists and sung in both a modern and liturgical setting. This is a song that has crossed denominational boundaries and has stood the test of time, gradually making its way out of pop music and into timeless. Why? Because “In Christ Alone” really lays out the basics of our faith. It tells both a story and a bold statement through its four stanzas. The message is central of our faith and the words our powerful. Therefore, “In Christ Alone” has become a favorite for many including myself. So if you haven’t heard this song before, you’re in for a treat. Here’s “In Christ Alone” by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. "In Christ Alone" by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My comforter, my all in all Here in the love of Christ I stand In Christ alone, Who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save 'Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the pow'r of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand 'Til He returns or calls me home Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand 'Til He returns or calls me home Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
