Another couple known for their world-renowned worship music, The Gettys, released a new Easter hymn titled, “Christ our Hope in Life and Death.”
Keith and Kristyn Getty collaborated with Matt Boswell, Jordan Kauflin, Matt Merker and Matt Papa to compose the new hymn. The song is meant to draw on deep theological questions, “reminding Christians throughout the world of the hope that can be found in Christ’s death and resurrection,” a statement shared with The Christian Post explained.
Here are some of the lyrics to “Christ our Hope in Life and Death”
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to him belong.
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is his grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, he lives; Christ, he lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.
