This hymn was knocking at my door all day. Here’s a new video by Keith and Kristyn Getty, with an assist from Alison Krauss. I keep thinking the waters are the Sea of Galilee. Well, they might be, at that.

‘In Christ Alone’ (Instrumental)
I don’t often post hymns that aren’t sung; but this video is quite beautiful. We can let the work of God’s hands sing of His glory. Violin by Taryn Harbridge, somewhere up in the mountains–In Christ Alone.
By Request, Two Hymns for One
Requested by Joshua: This video features two hymns–Immortal, Invisible and In Christ Alone, both sung by Steve Green at the Grove Avenue Baptist Church. I hope it gets your day started on the right foot.
‘In Christ Alone’
Yes, I know I’ve posted this several times before; but I have a desire to hear it again: In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty. I can never forget how the editors refused to add it to the Presbyterian Church USA hymnal unless they removed the line, “The wrath of God was satisfied.” Go-along-to-get-along theology at its finest.
Stuart Townend Sings Psalm 23
I did know that Stuart Townend, with Keith Getty, co-wrote In Christ Alone–so that’s a major achievement, so many people already love that hymn. But this is the first I’d ever heard him sing: the 23rd Psalm, set to music by Stuart Townend.
You already know the words.
‘In Christ Alone’
A new hymn that quickly became a classic–In Christ Alone, sung here by co-author Keith Getty and his wife, Kristyn–we don’t often get to hear our favorite hymns sung by the persons who wrote them.
‘In Christ Alone’ (Lauren Daigle)
This hymn sounds great even when there’s just a guitar behind the singer: In Christ Alone, sung by Lauren Daigle. I’ve been missing a friend who several times asked me to post it. May it be a blessing to us all.
‘In Christ Alone’
I love to hear this now and then–In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty.
A lot of flatline denominations these days, and lukewarm Christians of all stripes, object strenuously to the doctrine of the Blood Atonement. Heck, it’s only the whole basis of our salvation. So they rejected this hymn for their hymnals because it contains the line, “The wrath of God was satisfied.” Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…
For Linda: ‘In Christ Alone’
Our friend and sister and fellow-laborer, Linda Sorci, has been placed in hospice care. We have one last hymn request from her, through her daughter, Lynn. I think this was Linda’s favorite hymn, In Christ Alone.
This is hard. There is nothing harder than this, when our loved ones are parted from us. Our Lord Jesus Christ wept for Lazarus: He knew He was going to restore Lazarus’ life; but He also knew the pain felt by Lazarus’ sisters, Mary and Martha. He wept for that pain.
Isaiah: “The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men [and women] are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. [She] shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in [her] righteousness.” (Isaiah 57: 1-2)
Speaking only for myself, and for my wife, we feel this loss keenly. We’re only glad we had the opportunity to speak with her and comfort her, just a few days ago, and didn’t miss her altogether.
We pay our tears as tribute. We grieve, but not as heathen who have no hope. Where Linda goes, we’ll go, too.
It’s just awful hard to bear, for now.
Encore, ‘In Christ Alone’
Nobody will mind, will they, if I post this again? In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty–what with the kind of news we’ve all been getting lately, I thought we could use a belt of the Good News.
