Would you believe this beautiful hymn is controversial? It’s true: flatline churches don’t like that line, “The wrath of God was satisfied.” It’s a bit too grown-up for their sensibilities.
Requested by Linda, In Christ Alone–written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, rejected for the PCUSA hymnal for the sake of that one line, here performed by Getty and his wife, Krystyn.
Thank you, Lee. The Gospel in a hymn. Beautiful! And I’m glad the writers of this hymn stood their ground.
The hymn will probably be around a lot longer than the PCUSA will.
Wonderful. I am a big fan of the Getty’s!!
