This powerful song about the gospel of the kingdom has become a standard of musical worship these days. It’s excellent and anointed. In Christ alone we stand…yes, and in the power of His Spirit, our Comforter and Friend. Be en-courage-d today, dear saint, that there’s no fear of death, but we may know Him in the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings.
Other than the misused phrase “all striving cease,” the words appear accurate. The saints of the kingdom are to strive physically and spiritually to enter the narrow gate, as Jesus Christ and the apostles clearly teach. See our teaching on striving here. The authors of the song probably mean the rest our souls (personality) in the spirit…but have in error neglected the whole counsel of God in this one area.
Lyrics are below.
Lyrics
In Christ alone
My hope is found
He is my life, my strength, my song
This cornerstone , this solid rock
Firm through the fiercest, drought and storm
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 who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe
This gift of Love and righteousness,
scorned by the ones He came to save,
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of god was satisfied;
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the depth of Christ I live
There in the ground , His body lay,
Light of the 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
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This the pow’r of Christ in me,
From life’s first cry, to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny
No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
Till He returns or call me home
Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand …..

I can not remember the last time I sang the song, “In Christ Alone,” but I woke up from a deep sleep with the phrase and music in my heart, “no fear in death,” yet I could not place in my mind where it was from! Eventually, the lyrics came to me:
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me!
