A new song just released from the crew at Getty Music. The song, “Christ our Hope in Life and Death,” is an adaptation of the Heidelberg Catechism set to music. The music is uplifting. The lyrics are full of truth that every one of us needs to memorize in this current time. You can listen to it on Apple Music or Spotify. My sincere thanks to the songwriting team Getty Music has put together that still writes songs like this for a modern church.
The song is written like a catechism . . . with questions and answers. Check out the words below.
“Christ our Hope in Life and Death” by Keith Getty, Matt Boswell, Matt Papa, Matt Merker, Jordan Kauflin
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?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, our hope springs eternal.
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 send us nigh unto the shore? The rock of Christ
O Sing Hallelujah, our hope springs eternal.
O Sing Hallelujah, Now and ever we confess Christ our hope in life and death.
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 with endless joy, when Christ is ours forevermore!
O Sing Hallelujah, our hope springs eternal.
O Sing Hallelujah, Now and ever we confess Christ our hope in life and death.
O Sing Hallelujah, our hope springs eternal.
O Sing Hallelujah, Now and ever we confess Christ our hope in life and death.
