This has become my favorite Christian song because it really emphasizes the grace that was shown me despite the depth of my sin. Several years ago, the Liberal wing of Presbyterianism, PCUSA, contacted the original songwriters and wanted to change the words, "Till on that cross as Jesus died/the wrath of God was satisfied.” For this they wanted to substitute: “…as Jesus died/the love of God was magnified.”
Its important for all to understand that, while not popular, we are indeed rebels who are deserving of God's wrath because of the depth of our depravity. Jesus's death was the only thing that could pay that penalty of the wrath that we all deserve. A complete understanding of the Gospel includes understanding how His wrath is used with His love.
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 ev’ry 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; Then bursting forth in glorious day, Up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me; For I am His and He is mine— Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death— This is the pow’r of Christ in me; From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand; Till He returns or calls me home— Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.
"The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him." -G. K. Chesterton

Great song writers…The Getty’s are! They write music with solid theology.
Sow righteousness for yourselves and reap faithful love; break up your unplowed ground. It is time to seek the Lord until He comes and sends righteousness on you like the rain. - Hosea 10:12
