这首诗歌即Getty's Music的作品,英格兰诗歌作家Stuart Townend和现居美国的北爱尔兰作曲家KeithGetty试图创作兼具神学深度和诗词意境,音乐风格连接传统和现代,适合每一代人的圣诗。他们认为圣诗应教导整全圣经真理,同时又能深入人心,帮助基督徒反思和坚固信仰,建立他们的生命。《惟有基督》是两人2002年的首度合作,反响巨大。
惟有基督惟有基督是我盼望,是我光明力量颂赞。历经荒漠风暴锤炼,坚如磐石是我倚靠。慈爱至高平安至深,驱散恐惧平息风浪!我的安慰我的一切,在基督爱里我站立。惟有基督道成肉身,全权之神成为婴孩!从天赐下慈爱公义,受尽凌辱为救世人。主在十架舍身受死,将神忿怒全然挽回!我的罪孽他全承担,因基督之死我得生。救主舍身受死埋葬,黑暗掩盖世界之光;荣耀之日冲破幽暗,脱离死亡救主复活。荣耀救主全然得胜,从罪恶中将我释放!我在主里主在我里,蒙基督宝血我得赎。无论生死坦荡无惧,生命满载基督能力。一生一世无时无处,基督掌管人生道路。阴间权势恶人伎俩,无法将我与他隔绝!直到主来或召我去,靠基督能力我坚立。In Christ alone
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
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
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death 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
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
