In Christ Alone by Brian Littrell

It's very seldom that you hear a Christian working in the music scene as a pop singer. But for our music review today, I'm introducing you to Brian Littrell. He is a member of the famous band Backstreet Boys and also a contemporary Christian recording artist. I am happy to hear him say that he attributes all his success in life to God and that his faith has been "the utmost important thing in his life."

This song went all the way to #1 in the Christian Charts. Although "In Christ Alone" has already been around for many years, I personally did not know that it had a verse to it. When I first heard it, I couldn't believe what I have been missing for years! I feel this should be the song of every person especially those who experience successes in life...

Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1:
In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I’ve been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I’ll overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand

Chorus:
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
Is Christ alone!"

Verse 2:
In Christ alone do I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
For only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
And now I seek no greater honor than just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses to the glory of my Lord

Chorus:
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
Is Christ alone
Is Christ alone
Is Christ alone."
