In search of inspiration, I have been listening to a song entitled; ‘In Christ Alone’, throughout my life I have mostly relied on this song for comfort, no matter what the circumstances are, be it gloomy or bloomy, I have always found strength in this particular song. Yesterday however, I found a modern version of it and I really find the voice of the singer quite familiar. Upon further investigation of the singer, I found out that it was sung by Brian Littrell!
Brian Littrell is the lead singer of Backstreet Boys! I was never quite a fan of Backstreet Boys, but listened to their song because both of my brothers (one older and the other younger) are always playing their songs, squeezed in the middle as the only daughter, I have no choice but to hear their songs. After checking out Wikipedia, I found out that Brian has now turned into a Christian contemporary singer! What a blessing! One part of the song really touches me; he said; ‘Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hands, but those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand.’ ‘Now, I seek no greater honor in just to know Him more, and to count my gains for losses to the glory of my Lord.’ That came from the deepest part of his heart and we can witness the outer manifestation in his life when he won all that Grammies!
An outspoken Christian, Littrell has stated that he believes it is the duty of Christians to be open about their faith, saying, "I think as Christians we need to join hands and mount up together and lift God up and talk about our faith publicly and talk about all of the things God has done for us in our life to touch other people." Littrell, who has been a Born Again Christian since age 8, has said that he attributes his success in life to God, and that his faith has always been "the utmost important thing" in his life.

In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I’ve been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I’ll overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand
[chorus]
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victoryLet it be said of me
My source of strengthMy source of hope
Is Christ alone
In Christ alone do I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
For only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
And now I seek no greater honor in just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses to the glory of my Lord
