Christ Is Risen—Keith & Kristyn Getty &
Ed Cash/arr. Tom Fettke & Thomas Grassi.
From their successful Northern Celtic Island
Tour 2012, Keith and Kristyn Getty, with co-
writer Ed Cash, have given us yet another
fabulous defining hymn of faith. The strains of
authentic Celtic instruments begin the joyful,
dance-like rhythmic pattern that supports the
uplifting text of this resurrection piece. With
a victorious message that implores us to tell
the good news that He is alive, this Easter
Sunday anthem will inspire the hearts and
lives of all congregations. Full orchestration
are offered to the easy-to-sing but lush vocal
parts of this memorable choral work, but this
work would work equally well with keyboard
accompaniment alone. Each verse recounts
the story of Christ and his journey to the cross
ending with the fanfare that He is alive! The
perfect Easter anthem or benediction.
