[3] The couple oversees Getty Music, a record label and publishing house, as well as an education program for developing hymn writers and worship leaders.

Kristyn was a member of various local bands during her early career, before meeting Keith Getty and beginning to write music.

"In Christ Alone" was released in 2001 on New Irish Hymns, featuring vocalists Máire Brennan, Margaret Becker, and Joanne Hogg.

[8] "In Christ Alone" has been covered by numerous Christian and Celtic performers, including Natalie Grant, Lauren Daigle, Jim Brickman, Owl City, the Gaither Vocal Band, Alison Krauss, and Newsboys.

Awaken the Dawn introduced a more "worship band" approach as Keith and Kristyn began to tour and present their music to an American audience.

The album also collaborated with producer Phil Naish, the string arrangements of Rob Mathes, and Nashville rhythm musicians.

[20] In 2014, The Greengrass Sessions EP was released as a supplement containing additional songs used on the Hymns for the Christian Life tour.

The album's title track is the hymn "Facing a Task Unfinished", which the Gettys were invited to re-write by OMF International from the original by Frank Houghton in 1931.

The album also features special guests Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Fernando Ortega, John Patitucci, and Chris Tomlin.

The audience included former UK prime minister Theresa May and the event was introduced by the former Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow.

The album featured collaborations with Ricky Skaggs, Alison Krauss, Kirk Whalum, Dana Masters, Jordyn Shellhart, and Sandra McCracken.

[27] On 28 April 2023, Keith and Kristyn Getty released the album Christ Our Hope in Life and Death, named after the song with the same title.

[29] In reference to his songwriting and musical performance, Keith Getty wrote in 2015: "I do not pretend to be qualified to write a theological treatise on this particular subject.

Congregational singing is a holy act, and as I organize my thoughts, I hear my old pastor, Alistair Begg, reminding me that in our song worship, we have to be spiritually alive..."[30] In 2010, Tom Bledsoe invited Keith and Kristyn Getty to join a special Christmas celebration in with George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows.

[35] Guest performers included Stuart Townend, New Scottish Choir and Orchestra, Jonathan Rea, New Irish Arts, and Dr. Noël Tredinnick.

[citation needed] Keith has received two honorary doctorates: one from Lancaster Bible College in 2011 and another from Dallas Baptist University in 2021.

In 2018, Keith was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Elizabeth II, becoming the first church musician of the modern era to be given the award for contributions to music and hymn writing.

[42] In August 2019, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council (LCCC) approved a motion to bestow its highest civic order on Keith and Kristyn Getty following a proposal by Alderman Allan Ewart.

Keith Getty and co-author Stuart Townend rejected the request for modification and the Committee subsequently declined to include the song in its hymnal.

The dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University, Timothy George, published an article criticizing the Committee's attempt to remove the controversial doctrine of the wrath of God from the song.

[52] The topic of George’s article became popular and was eventually adapted by reporters from USA Today, The Washington Post, and other major publications.
