In Christ alone will I glory The Getty/Townend song should not be confused with the similarly titled song "In Christ Alone" co-written by Don Koch and Shawn Craig, originally recorded by Michael English on his self-titled debut solo album Michael English, and many others. It has become very popular and has been the subject of many cover versions and many language translations. The song is commonly known as "In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found)" and "In Christ Alone (I Stand)" taking verses from the song. The theme of the song is the life, death and resurrection of Christ, and that he is God whom even death cannot hold. "In Christ Alone" is considered a Christian credal song for belief in Jesus Christ. The music was by Getty and the original lyrics by Townend. The song, with a strong Irish melody, is the first hymn they penned together. Keith and I are overwhelmed with the response this song has had, and we are just grateful to God that He should use it to build up His church in this way."In Christ Alone" is a popular modern Christian song written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, both songwriters of Christian hymns and contemporary worship music in the United Kingdom. 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. The only thing I could think was to base it on the eternal theme of the life, death and resurrection of Christ. And I began to feel the pressure to write lyrics that were of a comparable standard! 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. 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.
