Keith and Kristyn Getty interviewed on Christianity Today

Here’s a snippet from a good and short interview with the Getty’s from CT:

CT: “What makes for a good song?

Kristyn: People have to want to sing it. So much of songwriting is editing, really. It’s just trying different words.

Keith: Ever since we started doing this, people have written to us with their versions of hymns based on Ephesians or predestination. But just because the subject is good does not necessarily mean the song will be good. Our goal is not to have every theological subject covered in song. Our goal is to write great songs, but through them to nourish and enrich and inspire and invigorate people with truth applied intellectually and emotionally. It is a tough goal, which is why in every 100 melodies I write, maybe half of one becomes a song!”
