Behind The Song “Christ Our Hope in Life and Death” | Getty, Boswell, Papa, Merker, Kauflin

"What is your only comfort in life and in death?” For centuries, believers have learned the Christian faith beginning with this first question of the Heidelberg Catechism. Hope comes only in trusting the one who died to take the curse of death and who crushed the power of death by his resurrection. The Christian can sing hallelujah, because Christ assures us of our glorious future. In this behind-the-scenes video, the Getty Music writing team of Keith Getty, Matt Papa, Matt Boswell, Matt Merker and Jordan Kauflin, reflect on why it’s crucial for believers to sing of the resurrection and how these truths can give us hope in the darkest of storms. Sickness, fear, and suffering afflict us all. Yet our hope remains as certain as the empty tomb. Even in the darkness, we can sing, “Hallelujah.” Now and ever, we confess: Christ our hope in life and death.
