Don’t miss the Jerde sisters’ stunning performance of ‘In Christ Alone.’
‘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.’
Ella (15) & Lucy (13) both love to sing and worship the Lord. There is something so incredible about seeing their faith shine so bright at such a young age. Their performance of this beloved hymn was one of those moments where you’re reminded just how powerful music can be when it’s sung from the heart. There’s something special about sibling harmonies, and these two sisters nailed it. You could tell they’ve spent years singing together, their voices naturally blending in a way that years of practice together can.
What I loved most about this performance was the heart behind it. They captioned their video with statement: “The phrase "In Christ Alone" in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible refers to the idea that Christ is the only mediator between God and man and that salvation is only possible through his death. It also means that believers have immediate access to God for forgiveness of sins.” Talk about wisdom for such tender ages.
It wasn’t just about showing off their vocal talent (though, let’s be honest, they’re incredibly talented). It was about pointing people to the truth of the song, to the strength we find in Christ alone. You could see it in the way they sang, the emotion on their faces—they weren’t just singing words; they were sharing their faith.
As they reached the chorus, “In Christ alone, my hope is found,” you could feel the weight of those words. It was one of those moments where the music and the message met perfectly. And that’s the beauty of this hymn—it’s not just about pretty melodies; it’s about a truth that resonates with all of us. No matter where we are in life, no matter what we’re going through, we can rest in the fact that our hope is found in Christ.
I love seeing people use their gifts to glorify God, and these sisters did just that. Their voices are a gift, but what’s even more beautiful is how they used them to point others to the real gift—God’s love and grace. No matter what life throws at us, He’s our solid rock, and we can stand firm in that truth. It’s moments like these—when music, faith, and heartfelt worship come together—that remind us of just how deeply loved we are by God.
