Michael W. Smith, along with Keith and Kristyn Getty, sings "Christ Our Hope in Life and Death," a modern hymn that reflects on the believer's confidence in Christ from life through death. The song asks where hope and truth are found, answering that they rest in Christ alone, His love, and His redemptive work. It acknowledges God's goodness and sovereignty, even in trials, and looks forward to the resurrection and eternal life with Him. The repeated refrain confesses Christ as the ultimate hope, bringing comfort and assurance to those facing fear, grief, or uncertainty.

What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us 'til the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, our God is good
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer's blood
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
O sing hallelujah!
O sing hallelujah!
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
"Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!"
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him
There we will rise to meet the Lord
Then sin and death will be destroyed
And we will feast in endless joy
When Christ is ours forevermore
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death
