Stuart Townend

I have talked about Keith Getty before and his part in writing the music for several modern hymns.I have not mentioned Stuart Townend. Stuart is responsible for the lyrics to several of the Getty songs. "In Christ Alone" and "The Power of the Cross" are two of these songs. Below is a Video of Stuart Townend leading the singing of the latter song in a church worship service. I personally like the Getty versions of these songs better, but thought I would give Mr. Townend the credit he deserves for writing such powerful lyrics. Which version of this song do you like best?
