In a music training session recently, I asked people if they could name songwriters from the Old Testament. The first answer was ‘The Gettys’!

Keith and Kristyn still serve us well with congregational songs, even if they don’t quite sit at the same level (or era!) as David, Solomon and Deborah, but more recently it’s wonderful to have been given such strong input from CityAlight, who are similarly committed to writing songs that congregations can actually sing. Not only that, but the average church musician is able play their songs too!
