In Christ Alone — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

Free karaoke for "In Christ Alone" by Keith & Kristyn Getty: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of D, 70 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits at a gentle 70 BPM, which gives you plenty of breathing room — but don't mistake slow for easy.

Your left hand plays block chords, so focus on learning the shapes for D, G, A, and Bm first, since those four anchor most of the progression.

The trickier moments come when you move between Asus4 and A7, or shift into Am and Esus4 — those suspensions and seventh voicings require precise finger placement, so isolate those transitions and loop them slowly until the hand just knows where to go.

Start hands-separate: get the left-hand chord changes smooth before layering in the melody.

Once you combine hands, watch the sustained notes in the right hand against chord shifts underneath — use light pedal to connect them without blurring.

This is a beautiful song for building confidence with suspension chords, and once those Sus2 and Sus4 shapes feel natural here, you'll recognize them everywhere.
