No matter how many times I hear that verse, I get chills up my spine. To know that Christ purposefully gave his life for us helps me to understand that he knows that soldiers are dying and that he is in control. We are losing soldiers here everyday to people that we are trying to help. It moves immediately to Christ’s burden for those who scorned him. It has been an inspiration to me because in each of it verses it reminds me of fundamental principles. I have listened to it almost every night and even tend to sing/reflect on its words on my trips across. It is a new hymn written, I believe, a year or two ago but it has the feel of the traditional hymns. ” I wanted to share a song that has been a real inspiration to me. One particularly moving story was a letter we received from a soldier at war Stuart penned a quite incredible lyric, which the two of us edited, developed and rewrote for a couple of weeks until it became “In Christ Alone”.Īs well as being a credal song, it fires people with hope that here is the God who even death cannot hold “No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me”. Something that could teach people the foundations of what we believed in Christ the God who changed all of history and who wants a relationship with each us. I wanted it to become a hymn that would declare the whole life of Christ and what it meant. I had a strong very Irish melody that I could imagine a large crowd singing. Ironically, it is the first hymn we ever penned together “Of all the hymns we have written, this hymn is the most popular wherever we go. When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!īought with the precious blood of Christ. What heights of love, what depths of peace, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
