The Getty/Townend song should not be confused with the similarly titled song 'In Christ Alone' co-written by Don Koch and Shawn Craig, originally recorded by Michael English on his self-titled debut solo album Michael English, and many others.

It has become very popular and has been the subject of many cover versions and many language translations. The song is commonly known as 'In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found)' and 'In Christ Alone (I Stand)' taking verses from the song. The theme of the song is the life, death and resurrection of Christ, and that he is God whom even death cannot hold. 'In Christ Alone' is considered a Christian credal song for belief in Jesus Christ. The music was by Getty and the original lyrics by Townend. The song, with a strong Irish melody, is the first hymn they penned together. 'In Christ Alone' is a popular modern Christian song written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, both songwriters of Christian hymns and contemporary worship music in the United Kingdom.
