Amen 🙏🥰

Love this song! We sing this frequently!

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 as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied; For ev’ry 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; Till He returns or calls me home- Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand. The Story Behind In Christ Alone Songwriter Stuart Townend grew up as the youngest of four children in a Christian family in West Yorkshire, England, where his father was a vicar in the Church of England. The Townend family always enjoyed music, and young Stuart began to play the piano at the age of seven. Known and respected today by musicians and worship leaders throughout Britain and beyond, his involvement in Christian music dates back over 10 years. During this time, Townend has used his talents to produce albums for British-based worship leaders as diverse as John Pantry, Keith Routledge, Sue Rinaldi, Vinesong and Praise Gathering. As an artist, he has made two solo albums: Say the Word and Personal Worship. But it is perhaps as a songwriter that Stuart has made his most enduring contribution to the contemporary worship movement. Songs such as “How Deep the Father’s Love,” “My First Love,” “The King of Love,” “Who Paints the Skies” and “Lord, How Majestic You Are” are favorites in the repertoire of thousands of churches around the world. And now one of his latest works, “In Christ Alone,” seems destined to take its place among other worship classics both in the UK and in the United States. Written in 2002, “In Christ Alone” was a collaborative effort between Townend and fellow songwriter (and now good friend) Keith Getty. “The song came about in an unusual way,” Townend explains. “Keith and I met in the autumn of 2000 at a worship event, and we resolved to try to work together on some songs. A few weeks later Keith sent some melody ideas, and the first one on the CD was a magnificent, haunting melody that I loved, and immediately started writing down some lyrical ideas on what I felt should be a timeless theme commensurate with the melody. So the theme of the life, death, resurrection of Christ, and the implications of that for us just began to tumble out, and when we got together later on to fine tune it, we felt we had encapsulated what we wanted to say.” www.godtube.com/popular-hymns/in-christ-alone-lyrics-story-behind-hymn/

Great video, Thank you, Ben. Your ministry is a great encouragement to me, such an encouragement. May you and your family and others in your ministry be greatly blessed as you have blessed me.

Wow that is an amazing arrangement.I love how you used music theory to bring the message out in this song. All the key changes and dynamics are amazing. I really want to learn more about music theory so that I can make arrangements like this one. I really love old hymns like this one. It makes me sad that churches are turning away from hymnals and going to the big screens. Don't get me wrong I love modern day worship music. But I wish churches would do mixed services with modern day worship and all the older hymns. The messages in these hymns still apply today. It amazes me how God used hymn writers so long ago like Fanny Crosby, Issac Watts, etc. to write songs that would carry the message for centuries. Once again great arrangement. Have a great day!

Ben, had a thought. At the end of some of these videos, can you share a little of the story behind the writing of some of the songs that you share on here? Some of these songs have a pretty incredible story behind them.

Some depends on how God made you, some depends on your age (male voices mature around 30), and some depends on your technique. What you use will become what you are to some extent.

Beautiful song , Ben.

Shared! No other place to be, this is my Life Song! Next would be Complete in Thee! We are restless until we find our rest in Him, if not Today?! When?

I remember where I was (ten years ago) and the service I attend when I sang this song as Hymn...Now I can say that I heard you sing it better than any other performer.

I like this version better! Well done!
