SONG STUDY (1) INTRODUCTION - BIBLE STUDIES BASED ON HYMNS AND SONGS
The words in most hymns and Christian songs often contain quotes from the Bible and these are frequently taken from the King James (Authorised) translation. Because of changes in word meanings since the seventeenth century, modern singers frequently have only a vague understanding of what the song writer meant.

Even songs being written today use difficult words and ideas. There is a tendency to use what may be called "Christian jargon", which may be meaningful to some and meaningless to others.
Stuart Townend (1963 -)
It is assumed that the reader has a copy of the Bible on hand. There are many modern translations around; the writer uses the NIV (New International Version).
Isaac Watts 1674-1748

  SONG STUDY 27  IN CHRIST ALONE Stuart Townend and Keith Getty These two great songwriters have combined to write many modern Christian songs. This song is one of their best.                               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. Till 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.
