By Request, ‘O Church Arise’

I was hoping for some hymn requests, and we have this one from Susan: O Church Arise, by Keith and Kristyn Getty with an assist from Chris Tomlin. Inspired by Isaiah Chapter 60, “Arise, shine, for thy light has come.”

By Request, ‘I Will Wait for You’

(I wonder how many people have actually been driven mad by having to work with computers. The other computer has now gone haywire, so I’m back to this one. Lord, give me strength.)

Requested by Susan, I Will Wait for You, an adaptation of Psalm 130 (“Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord”)  by Keith and Kristyn Getty

‘Christ Our Hope in Life and Death’

Looking for new hymns to post this morning, I found this–Christ Our Hope in Life and Death, by Keith and Kristyn Getty, with Matt Papa. Background sets by God the Father.

By Request, ‘His Mercy is More’

Susan has been coming up with some wonderful new hymns for us lately, like this one: His Mercy Is More, by Keith and Kristyn Getty, performed here by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell. “Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.” They got that right!

By Request, ‘Forever Jesus’

Requested by Susan: a new worship song, Forever Jesus, written by Matt Papa and Stuart Townend, performed by them with Keith and Kristyn Getty. With background sets by God the Father.

‘In Christ Alone’ (New Video)

This hymn was knocking at my door all day. Here’s a new video by Keith and Kristyn Getty, with an assist from Alison Krauss. I keep thinking the waters are the Sea of Galilee. Well, they might be, at that.

‘In Christ Alone’

Yes, I know I’ve posted this several times before; but I have a desire to hear it again: In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty. I can never forget how the editors refused to add it to the Presbyterian Church USA hymnal unless they removed the line, “The wrath of God was satisfied.” Go-along-to-get-along theology at its finest.

‘In Christ Alone’

A new hymn that quickly became a classic–In Christ Alone, sung here by co-author Keith Getty and his wife, Kristyn–we don’t often get to hear our favorite hymns sung by the persons who wrote them.

By Request, ‘By Faith’

Susan asked for this–By Faith, by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, sung by Keith and Kristyn Getty: a hymn that picks up where Hebrews 11 leaves off.

“Walk by faith and not by sight”–it would be a good thing, to know how to do this. Prayer will be part of that answer, I think.

‘In Christ Alone’

I love to hear this now and then–In Christ Alone, by Keith and Kristyn Getty.

A lot of flatline denominations these days, and lukewarm Christians of all stripes, object strenuously to the doctrine of the Blood Atonement. Heck, it’s only the whole basis of our salvation. So they rejected this hymn for their hymnals because it contains the line, “The wrath of God was satisfied.” Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…
