I wanted to write a fourth verse that was about us – but not just as an emotional response, but as a undeniable statement of the power of Christ to sustain us in this life. The verses came in a fairly linear way, but as the third verse developed, I was getting pretty excited as I thought about the amazing implications of Christ’s finished work on the cross. Their hymns, including 'In Christ Alone' and 'Christ Our Hope in Life and Death,' are sung throughout the world, with 85 of their titles listed by CCLI in its US and UK top 2000 lists. The decision to drop the hymn wasn’t made lightly, said Mary Louise Bringle, a religion professor and hymnwriter who chaired the hymnal committee. Keith and Kristyn Getty are passionate about hymns. The only thing I could think was to base it on the eternal theme of the life, death and resurrection of Christ. Debate over In Christ Alone is a mix of church politics, the touchy subject of updating hymn lyrics and rival views of what Jesus’ death on the cross meant. Many of his songs are co-written with his wife, Kristyn Getty, and veteran British, English songwriter and worship leader Stuart Townend.

And I began to feel the pressure to write lyrics that were of a comparable standard!

Julian Keith Getty OBE (born 16 December 1974) is a Northern Irish composer, best known for pioneering 'modern hymns'. And the first melody on it really hit me – it was tuneful and memorable, and yet had gravitas and real emotion. Keith promised he would send me a CD with a bunch of melodies he’d been working on, and to be honest I thought no more about it. 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. Stream songs including 'Doxology / Oh, Shout For Joy (The New Hundredth) Medley', 'Lift High the Name of Jesus / The Legend of Saints and Snakes (Medley)' and more. We had been introduced by a mutual friend at a worship conference, where we had a coffee together and talked about our backgrounds, musical influences, and motivations to write.
