Christ Our Hope in Life & Death

The album is a joyful celebration of the eternal hope and confidence we find in Christ, with Ten songs centered around the focus track “Rejoice”, featuring fellow Northern Ireland Christian artists, Rend Collective.

Filled with bold congregational anthems and soaring melodies, COHILAD expands the Gettys’ signature Folk-Irish sound to fresh horizons with songs featuring Matt Boswell, The Getty Girls, Matt Papa, Skye Peterson, Rend Collective, Michael W. Smith, a full Gospel choir, and production by Grammy award winner Bryan Fowler (known for his work with TobyMac and Shane & Shane) and Ben Shive.

The focus track and album anthem, “Rejoice,” features the powerful vocals of Rend Collective and centers around Paul’s appeal in Philippians 4:4 to “Rejoice in the Lord always.” The song is preceded by the title track, “Christ Our Hope in Life and Death” — the first song recorded by the Gettys with Michael W. Smith — and followed by “The Lord Almighty Reigns,” one of the most exciting hymns we’ve been a part of in the past 20 years and a triumphant lyrical foretaste of that day when every tribe and tongue will gather to praise the Lord.
