Anchored in Heaven: Keith Getty Calls Christians to Sing Scripture in the Age of AI

In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, Grammy-nominated hymn writer Keith Getty is urging Christians to prioritize singing Scripture and biblical truth as an essential anchor against the dislocating and isolating effects of the technological age. The co-writer of the modern hymn “In Christ Alone” shared this vision ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Sing! Conference, which will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, with the theme “Symphony of Scripture.” The conference also celebrates the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale’s English New Testament, exploring how Scripture influences the worship, witness, and life of the Church. “There are many goals with the Sing! Conference: congregational singing, to improve high artistry, but I think at the heart of it is helping people sing the Bible,” Getty told The Christian Post, noting that Scripture itself is “about 20 percent poems and songs,” making it uniquely suited to musical expression. “Singing is exhilarating. It’s a holy privilege. It is doxological worship to our God and Heavenly Father. But it’s never less than instructional.”

Getty expressed concern about the impact of AI on society, predicting that “the confusing disparity of what people have known to be true in the past and what is the new reality that they’re going to discover in the next one to 10 years will be so dislocating.” Drawing parallels to the rise of the internet, which brought depression, and social media, which fueled anxiety, he warned that AI could exacerbate loneliness and “the lack of any sense of friendship.” At the same time, he encouraged Christians not to fear the future but to grow deeply in God’s Word and in the physical community of the Church. “Ultimately … our hope has to be in Heaven,” he said, emphasizing that movements of renewal have consistently produced new songs across Christian history. “All great movements result in doxology. They result in people singing because, as the hymn writer says, how can we keep from singing? We just can’t. That’s how we’re made.” The conference, featuring speakers John Piper, John Lennox, and Wes Huff, will address topics ranging from Tyndale’s legacy to the distinction between “biblical intelligence” and artificial intelligence, equipping the Church to engage more fully in worship.
