I had this song sang at my husband's funeral in2016 , I had begun to love this song , I thought it was right for me and him , how great God is thank you
I was praying in my prayer closet when I began to hear what sounded like a choir singing and the only words I could make out was In Christ Alone. I lay crying and humming along with this choir. Today as I was making my bed I remembered my experience and looked up on my computer In Christ Alone. I was in tears. I could not believe there was really such a song. The whole song is amazing. The words were exactly what my soul desired to sing to my Savior. And to think it was the angels that first introduced to me this song. I never cease to be amazed at the power and infinity of an Almighty God. So Mr Stuart Townend and Mr Keith Getty please know this, your song was divinely given and divinely sung by the angels and rings through out the heavens.
Yes, indeed Christ Alone song conveys the sum and substance of the Gospel! God really bestowed great grace upon both the songwriter Stuart Townend and music composer Keith Getty! God bless you, dear brothers!
I thought it was written in the 1800’s! I had no idea powerful inspired Christ centered music could still be made . This is the “Amazing grace “ of our generation
The last stanza makes me cry . Before Christ in my life I'm sad to live this life and afraid to die. But in Christ I've no guilt to live I'm not afraid of death . This song tells about life of Jesus. I love this song .
Me too! No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
The most beautiful song about Christ ever sung. Heavenly. Just heavenly. I'm sure this song will be sang in heaven. A masterpiece by Keith and Stuart. ❤️❤️
Stuart Townend and Keith Getty thank you so very much for In Christ Alone. It is a jewel in contemporary Christian music and far surpasses any other. I truly love the classicness and song I can sing from my heart, Christ’s journey. Rich in heart and soul. THANK YOU! ✝️🙏🏻🕊️❤️
@@ifeoluwapraise_ If you read what Paul wrote to the Galatians you will find that he says they believe in another gospel and another Jesus. As far as I view it people who sing Getty and Townend believe in another Jesus. He is tortured because an angry God cannot look on sin and whose wrath is abated by death and blood. He comes down from Heaven as a helpless babe and this Christ of theirs is the sole focus of belief. There is no mention of either the Holy Spirit or the Church in an attempt to rewrite the Creed I do not profess belief in their Christ alone and I am not alone in hating virtually every line of this mistaken hymn.
Marlene Reimchen I was so convinced that it was as old as the hymn ‘When I survey the wondrous cross ‘ one of my mom’s favorite hymns (sadly she passed away)
@@nomqhele6826 I recently heard this hymn and thought the same and has become one of my favorites and another hymn written by Stuart Townend How Deep The Father's Love For Us
This is my favorite song of all time. I've never heard a christian song so powerfully crafted both in message, lyrics, meaning and tune as this. I cant have enough listen
Have just listened to this on an online thanksgiving service for a dear friend, gone too soon in these Covid times, but not actually from Covid. RIP Derek. This hymn has ministered to us all. Thank you Stuart and Keith. It will be played at my funeral too.
Just found this wonderful interview. I absolutely love the old hymns and don’t like most contemporary songs. But IN CHRIST ALONE is now my all time favorite modern hymn! I am going to memorize it, and we are going to sing it this next Sunday, too. It has the full gospel message AND the most beautiful melody. You just don’t get that nowadays. Thank you so much for your ministry and please keep going. Take our grateful thanks with you!!! Jesus is blessed by your music. I KNOW IT! He is perfectly portrayed in this song and honored in the beautiful melody.
I heard "in Christ Alone" sometime in 2005. I was about to be re-licenced as Lay reader in Hereford (UK) Diocese, and found that it expressed what my faith is and on whom my heart is fixed on the Rock of my salvation. My thanks to you, for me it will go before me, Christ is my All.
Believe it or not, they’re singing this song in Roman Catholic churches now too. This surprised me big time when I found it out. Here’s to hoping it will plant many seeds that will one day bloom and blossom in a glorious result to the Glory of God. May it not fall on rocky soil, and may not the birds of the air steal away this seed-that Christ alone is Savior, Redeemer, and Deliverer of our souls.
Alexander Duvall this lovely song was sung beautifully. By a young tenor in a Celtic way at my mother ‘s catholic funeral mass In Ireland recently , it was really lovely
There is a deep revelation of the love, life and victory of Christ at the cross of Calvary. This is a kind of song that always brings you face to face with the Lord each you listen to it or sing it. Praise be to God and Christ our redeemer. May God bless these wonderful men who were able to put this beautiful revelation into a song. It's a blessing, always a blessing to hear those beautiful words.
Thank you for the Great Gospel message and melody in this song. I pastor in U.S. for 40 years..I've listened to your hymn a hundred times. I cry and weep upon Every listening!
Me too! I could never get through singing it solo because nobody would ever know the last part of each verse! LOL I'm a very reserved person but this song gets my hands up in the air.
This song was inspired by the Holy Spirit, it reminds me of the awesome and overwhelming love of God through Jesus Christ our Lord and in Total submission, I am humbled. Indeed His love for us supercides all understanding. God bless the writer and everyone.
Ha! Minute 8 comment - you've been watching us in worship at our church! ♥ Thanks for listening to the Lord and writing this and sharing your art with us so we can join you in worship.
Wow, what a blessing to many. Thankyou guys for writing the song with those heart touching words and melody, I think what makes a song success and blessing for me is I can enjoy singing along while on my own and it draws me to God. .
I thank the Lord everyday, that part of my Ministry for my "Precious Saviour" is my love for Christian music. I will be singing this Beautiful Song of JESUS love for us at my Church on Easter Sunday..o Thank you Lord for the opportunity to be used as a "vessel" for Your Honor and Glory.
Thank God for this wonderful song which draws me closer to my Saviour. May the eternal Lord bless you saints for bringing this amazing song to this world.Amen:)
I agree that both lyrics and melody are important in good church music. I think the reason music directors look at the lyrics first, though, is because it must match the week's message. That is the reason to choose one good song over another equally good one in any given week.
I learned today that this song didn't come out in 1800....... this song is so powerful. You don't need your music to sound like a hymn to be powerful but where is the music centered around Christ, even if its talking about what we go through?
The editing of this interview was excellent. It is one of the best interviews that I've ever seen or listened to. That said, I would love to see the interviewers questioning included in a fuller video. Congrstulations to all involved!
YES! give me 90 people and an incompetent keyboard player who love Jesus rather than a #1 hit. Problem is: people feel worrying for the church is either: not big enough (they'll like it anyway), we just got to win the lost, or its all about my feelings and emotions without resolving like job and David did all through the scriptures its about Christ!
I'm wondering if you could write some new melody for THE PSALMS Your words are precious But the Psalms reveal the Lord Jesus His sufferings Resurrection Exaltation and Future acknowledgement by the nation's of the world PS 2 THE Early church and until 1800 s SANG ONLY THE WORDS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THE Psalms are the churches Hymbook May GOD BLESS you
I have sung this song at three family funerals and sung by all present in a real triumphant way because we all knew where our relatives had gone, home to Jesus.
In Christ alone, my hope is found. My solid ground! All other ground is sinking sand. Glory to God
I had this song sang at my husband's funeral in2016 , I had begun to love this song , I thought it was right for me and him , how great God is thank you
A hundred years from now (and more), this song will still be joyfully sung in churches the world over. It is an absolutely timeless masterpiece.
Truth
Unless Jesus returns in the interim...
How deceived everyone is by these words.
What think ye of Christ? This hymn answers that quite incorrectly. Error has no rights.
With the original line about the wrath of God.

e2sguy me too
Its centered on one mans idea of who Christ is.
Youre saying that Amazing Grace is about Christ.
Agree, the lyrics says it all. From our birth to death, the sacrifice and love of Christ our Hope from this world to our Final True Home.
Yup, until recently I thought this was written in the previous generation
The last stanza makes me cry .
Before Christ in my life I'm sad to live this life and afraid to die.
But in Christ I've no guilt to live I'm not afraid of death .
This song tells about life of Jesus.
I love this song .
Me too!
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
The most beautiful song about Christ ever sung. Heavenly. Just heavenly. I'm sure this song will be sang in heaven. A masterpiece by Keith and Stuart. ❤️❤️
Very anointed. Can't hear it without crying. Just truth set to music. Beautiful. Thank you.

THANK YOU! ✝️🙏🏻🕊️❤️
because a "hymn" is about "HIM" Thank you for this most beautiful song.
This hymn about another Jesus who bewitched the Galatians and will deceive many in the.latter days.
@@rhodiusscrolls3080 what do you mean

@@ifeoluwapraise_ The more I try to talk about this awful hymn the more I
wish that it had never been written. It is about another Jesus.
Its like claiming that History is His Story which it is not.
One of the most powerful contemporary hymns of our Time
When I first heard this song, it touched my soul, especially it was sang in memorial service of young pastor. Thank you for the most beautiful song.
The message conveyed by the lyrics and Melody is so faith building!
I love this song!!! I actually thought it was an old hymn.

Fabulously inspiring. Lifted my soul to new heights. The hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
Definitivamente este himno fue 100% inspiración del espíritu santo, gracias a Dios por sus vidas, Dios les bendiga y reciban un saludo desde México
Christ Alone appears in our “Catholic” song book. I love this song. It’s so powerful ❤

A beautiful song ❤ God bless you both!
Beautiful story, beautiful song!
Thank you, such a blessing this song has been...
I learned today that this song didn't come out in 1800....... this song is so powerful.
You don't need your music to sound like a hymn to be powerful but where is the music centered around Christ, even if its talking about what we go through?
Beautiful !
This song is singind in Brazilians Churches
Beautiful hymn. So powerful
Thank you so much for this hymn it's really powerful and the message it carries it is powerful.
May God's blessing be on you both for such a lovely hymn
Fabulous..... what an amazing song writer, so uplifting. TYJ
I just 💓 this song!!!
Beautifully laid out. In christ alone.
The editing of this interview was excellent. It is one of the best interviews that I've ever seen or listened to.
That said, I would love to see the interviewers questioning included in a fuller video.
Congrstulations to all involved!
You wrote a wonderful song!
I truly think this song should be the "National Anthem " of Christian.....
Thank you so much for writing this song together showing the real deal is god( juses ) its beautiful.
Please make a Film with that song to bring Christ back once more to His people..... Bravo it is God alone......
My favorite song. I wonder why!
wonderful editing as they both addressed similar topics in their interviews
This is great, thank you for putting it together... It's inspiring me to write a song:)
HI I am one of your subscribers, beautiful song love this song
YES! give me 90 people and an incompetent keyboard player who love Jesus rather than a #1 hit. Problem is: people feel worrying for the church is either: not big enough (they'll like it anyway), we just got to win the lost, or its all about my feelings and emotions without resolving like job and David did all through the scriptures its about Christ!
Thank You Sir
Favorite song
Beautiful ❤️ God bless you all
Thank you my Favourite song 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This song is all about Christ in totality. May Jesus Christ continue to reign in our heart.
Are there any translation of the song in other languages ? I'm interested !
God bless you all
What is the original lyric of this music finally? Someone knows? Thanks!
🙌🙏✝️🙏🙌
i don't always play the piano, but when i do i sit in a leather chair and write #1 hits
GOD Jesus.
How Was In Christ Alone Written? Either with a pen, or on a keyboard.
I'm wondering if you could write some new melody for THE PSALMS Your words are precious But the Psalms reveal the Lord Jesus His sufferings
Resurrection Exaltation and Future acknowledgement by the nation's of the world PS 2 THE Early church and until 1800 s SANG ONLY THE WORDS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THE Psalms are the churches Hymbook
May GOD BLESS you
unfortunately most people sing this triumphant song in a mournful way like they are at a funeral. the song should come with instructions!
I have sung this song at three family funerals and sung by all present in a real triumphant way because we all knew where our relatives had gone, home to Jesus.
To cap it all God is so angry with sin that He puts His own Son to death. Its not right and it is wrong to celebrate error.
No we do not believe in your Penal Substition hymns..
Get from your pedestal Getty and sing your heresies elswhere and not from our hymn sheet please.
