John 10:27-29 · “In Christ Alone” · Keith Getty & Stuart Townend

NOT A QUOTE “In Christ Alone” Keith Getty & Stuart Townend John 10:27-29 Sing it. Nothing here is offered as a quotation. The last verse is John 10:28 in a hymn's clothes, minus the second half: the Father's hand, and the reason nobody gets past it.

✓ Never says it is quoting: no verse cited, no scripture framing, nothing offered as the words of the text

⚠ The passage names two hands. The hymn names one. John 10:29 adds the Father's hand and the reason it holds: "My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all"

John 10:28-29 · “He Will Hold Me Fast” · Keith & Kristyn Getty

NOT A QUOTE “He Will Hold Me Fast” Keith & Kristyn Getty John 10:28-29 Sing it. It quotes nothing and never says it is scripture. It says what John 10:28 says, that the grip is His and not yours. Read verse 29 alongside it for the reason that grip holds.

✓ Never says it is quoting. No verse is cited in the sung text, and nothing is presented as the words of scripture

⚠ The Father is not named in the song. John 10:29 supplies the reason the promise holds, that the Father who gave them is greater than all, and that clause has no counterpart in either version of the hymn
