However, if I had to choose only one hope I would have for this album it would be that it would bring new hymns that will really last to the Church. My primary aim was to write great hymns for the Church focused on God. And as an Irish composer and with working in Irish music a lot, I suppose all my music is destined to have an Irish feel to it. . . Rock and worship, and rock and Celtic sounds have always combined well, but this mingling of worship and Celtic has a unique warm sound to it that I feel adds to the lyrics. In an interview following the release of that project, he explained some aspects of his original intent and his process:įor this latest album I used a combination of old hymns and portions of Scripture and reworked them to create modern hymns for the modern Church. Getty was preparing an album of new songs, which was eventually released through Kingsway as New Irish Hymns (2001). No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His Hand 'til He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.“In Christ alone” was the first song written collaboratively between Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, begun in 2000 and finished in 2001. In Christ alone I place my trust And find my glory in the power of the cross In every victory let it be said of me My source of strength My source of hope In Christ alone I place my trust And find my glory in the power of the cross In every victory let it be said of me My source of strength My source of hope In Christ alone
There in the ground His body lay Light of thw world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave he rose again And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ
'Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied Forevery sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live
In Christ Alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand 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
