01550 - The Songs Of Stuart Townsend

Hymns such as In Christ Alone, How Deep the Father’s Love for Us, and The Power of the Cross have drawn people back to the Christian faith. They remind us that worship is a response to the saving work and majesty of God revealed through Jesus Christ.

The songs point to the unchanging character of God and the finished work of Christ. As you sing words rooted in Scripture, faith is strengthened, hope is renewed, and your heart is lifted above present circumstances. Worship has a way of aligning the soul with Heaven’s perspective and filling ordinary days with eternal purpose.

Colossians 3:16 (NASB) says, “Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” God delights when worship is filled with truth, gratitude, and wholehearted devotion.
