If you've followed Natalie Grant for any length of time, you already know "In Christ Alone" is more than just a song on her setlist - it's a declaration she's carried for decades.
Grant herself has said the song "has been one of my favorites for nearly 30 years," describing Christ as her "light, my strength, and my song." Now, the five-time Gospel Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year is giving that song its very own moment.
A new Single Version of "In Christ Alone" officially releases on May 8, 2026, under Curb Productions, Inc. - lifted from her upcoming Greatest Hits compilation. The track is produced by her husband, Grammy Award-winning producer Bernie Herms, with mixing by Luke Fredrickson.
A Song With Deep CCM Roots
What many listeners may not realize is that this version of "In Christ Alone" - written by Shawn Craig and Donald Koch - carries a rich history of its own. First recorded by Michael English in 1991, the song became a beloved staple in the Contemporary Christian Music world long before it landed in Natalie Grant's hands.
Grant first recorded the song for her acclaimed Seasons album in 2023, where it served as the very first track - a deliberate, faith-forward statement anchoring the entire project. Seasons debuted at No. 1 on the Christian Billboard Charts in October 2023, introducing the recording to a whole new generation of listeners.
Now, a Greatest Hits Moment
Now in 2026, Curb Records is strategically spotlighting the track as a standalone Single Version ahead of the Greatest Hits release - giving it the solo stage it deserves. For longtime fans, it's a full-circle moment. For new listeners, it's the perfect entry point.
For believers, the message is timeless: complete identity, strength, and hope found in Christ alone. In a music landscape that constantly chases what's next, this release is a quiet, powerful reminder of what lasts.
"In Christ Alone" (Single Version) by Natalie Grant releases May 8, 2026 on all major streaming platforms via Curb Records.
