Refrain: Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story. Of the Christ Who died for me, Sing it with the saints in glory, Gathered by the crystal sea. I was lost, but Jesus found me, Found the sheep that went astray, Threw His loving arms around me, Drew me back into His way.

Evoking the imagery of Jonathan Edwards’ sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” Crowder’s song portrays the imminent danger our lives experience until the moment we come face-to-face with Christ’s payment for our sins. We are each facing a death sentence that is completely unstoppable save by the death of Jesus on that cross. Crowderhas pu...

Sticking with the hymn category, we jump to a much more recent song written by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty. “In Christ Alone”is naming God as our one and only hope for salvation.
