Welcome from Keith And Kristyn
WELCOME TO SING!
Dear Friends,
It is with so much excitement and celebration that we welcome you to Sing! 2021—whether you are joining us in Nashville or online.
We would like to publicly thank the team who presented and all of you who supported the digital Sing! Global conference in 2020. How much we missed singing together in person last year and encouraging one another in that way!
Thankfully, the singing did not stop, as singing is not just for the special occasion or even just when we are together. It is a gift for all of life that we each have a deepened gratitude for after these last months—words and melodies that give expression to the great faith we profess in Christ alone, to the struggles that we share, to the hope we cling to. We sing as we wake in the morning, as we drive to work, as we bring our needs to the Lord, as we make a meal, as we put our children to bed, as we go to sleep.
But for these next days we bring all the fruit of these times to the feast we will share. The stories of God’s faithfulness, the reminders of what is truly important, the new plans we are making as local congregations going forward.
What a critical opportunity we have been given: to help restore the voice of the congregation, to renew our commitment to the call of Christ, to reunite as God’s church here and around the world. Even as we enjoy the comfort of this rich time may it all be received with a ready mind and heart towards devotion and service to the Lord. The challenges we face are very real. Amy Carmichael writes, “So sing. Never be afraid of singing too much. We are much more likely to sing too little.”
May the grace of Christ be with us all, Grace and peace,
Keith and Kristyn

SPECIAL THANKS TO VOM
Getty Music would like to extend our deepest thanks to our Official Missions Partner, The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM). Because of their partnership, we have been able to expand the vision and reach of the Sing! movement beyond what we would have ever dreamed possible, resulting in the equipping of thousands of churches and leaders even amid a global pandemic. Their friendship and support have energized us during this season of ministry, and we could not be more thankful.
The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) is a nonprofit, interdenominational missions organization that serves persecuted Christians around the world. Founded in 1967 by Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, VOM is dedicated to inspiring believers to deepen their commitment to Christ and to fulfill his Great Commission — no matter the cost.
As a special gift, every attendee will receive a free copy of Foxe: The Voices of the Martyrs from VOM. We highly encourage you to sign up for their free prayer calendar and magazine to know how you can better pray for and serve the persecuted church around the world.

In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My comforter, my all in all Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, Who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save Till on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For ev’ry sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the pow’r of Christ in me From life’s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand
