Lyrics of
In Christ Alone

In Christ Alone was written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. The song discusses the Christian life from creation to Jesuss glorification, focusing particularly on His death on the cross and resurrection. It was inspired by a desire to write a song that clearly and artistically presented the gospel.

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.
till on that cross where 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 in darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
sins curse has lost it's 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,
till He returns or calls me home;
here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
