At the conference I attended last week, we had the pleasure of being led in worship by Keith and Kristyn Getty. They were not there to perform but to usher us into the presence of God through song. You may have heard or sang the songs written by these modern-day hymn writers from Ireland. Keith wrote Christ Alone with Stuart Townsend, along with There is a Higher Throne and Power of the Cross. The couple has also written songs for the African Children's Choir. For a sampling of their music, visit www.gettymusic.com. I promise you won't be disappointed! They have a great CD especially for kids.
One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty,
Honor and blessing, glory and praise,
To the King crowned with power and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead.
(My favorite lines from See, What a Morning, with emphasis mine. How as Christians can we not have joy when these truths are ours in Christ!?)
