Christian artist Sarah Hawkyard has released a truly beautiful rendition of the beloved hymn, “In Christ Alone.” Armed with her voice and piano, she sounds marvelous as she sings to God. Watch the video to see it. 

Sarah Hawkyard covers the song in her own way, with lots of slow care as she plays the keys. As she plays, it is evident that Sarah finds pure joy through praising God like this, and it’s wonderful to see and hear her live out her joy. The simplicity of her voice and piano playing allows the lyrics to shine through with grace. 

“In Christ Alone” was written in 2002 by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty. 

Keith said, “I knew I wanted the song to be story-driven, so I said, ‘Let’s do a song that tells the whole story of Christ coming to earth-the whole gospel story in one song. Let’s have as many verses as we want, and let’s just go for it.” Weeks later, with a lot of fine-tuning and collaboration, “In Christ Alone” was born. Some of the lyrics are:

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

“This worship cover of In Christ Alone is my heartfelt offering of praise — a reminder that our faith and hope rest in Jesus alone,” Sarah said. “Whether you’re listening in quiet devotion, prayer, or corporate worship, may this song remind you of God’s unshakable love and power.”

“I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20
