For the Cause is the second release in the Getty Kids Hymnal album series, a collection of recordings designed to help disciple children with songs to carry for life.  Inspired by many world music sounds, this album was recorded by the Getty band and five different children’s choirs from Africa, America, Colombia, India, and Ireland.  Enjoy some samples below!

What we learn to music, especially when we are children stays with us all our lives. Even when we are old, “it will not depart from us.” How important, then, to learn life principles from the Word of God by singing them into our very souls when we are children. This is one of the best gifts we can ever give a child. What a great resource is this new Getty hymnal and CD for our kids and grandkids!
— Gloria Gaither
It always makes me so happy whenever an artist writes for the most important, wonderful and discerning audience of all. The Getty’s, our modern day hymn writers, have have turned their great gift to write an album of songs filled with robust theology, great music, anthems—all in the service of giving children hymns of their own. Wonderful, feet-stomping truth to sing! (I have a feeling, as with most great writing for children’, the adults will want to sing along too.)
— Sally Lloyd-Jones
Rock-solid, yet oh so fun... wonderfully timeless, yet completely contemporary. It’s the way I describe Keith and Kristyn’s fabulous new project, The Getty’s Kid’s Hymnal. I love their heart to help parents and children harmonize together in their worship of Jesus, using familiar hymns and new melodies with Spirit-blessed words. You just have to get a copy of this new book and CD for your kids — you’ll be helping them sing great doctrine with joyous delight, creating melodies in their hearts that will last a lifetime.

FOR THE CAUSE

GETTY KIDS SONG OF THE MONTH

For the cause of Christ the King
We give our lives, an offering
’Til all the earth resounds
With ceaseless praise
To the Son

For the cause of Christ we go
With joy to reap, with faith to sow
As many see
And many put their trust in the Son

CHORUS
Christ we proclaim,
The Name above every name:
For all creation,
Ev’ry nation,
God’s salvation
Through the Son!

For the King once lifted high
To cries of rage, of ‘crucify!’
Endured the cross
As every sin was laid
On the Son

To the King who conquered death
To free the poor and the oppressed
For lasting peace
For life and liberty
In the Son

CHORUS

Let it be my life’s refrain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain;
Deny myself, take up my cross
And follow the Son

CHORUS
