NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Getty Music today released the official music
video for Keith and Kristyn Getty's
new rendition of the timeless hymn, "It Is Well With My Soul." The
song is featured in the forthcoming film, "Sabina: Tortured
for Christ, the Nazi Years," which shares the inspiring, true story
of Sabina (Oster) Wurmbrand and her
husband Richard, who founded The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), an
interdenominational missions organization that serves persecuted
Christians around the world.
The new music video includes footage shot in Northern Ireland of the expansive coast,
roaring waves and towering cliffs to complement the original song.
Scenes from "Sabina" representing the love and forgiveness
Sabina Wurmbrand showed and
illustrating the Wurmbrands' lives are intertwined throughout the
video.
"We are honored to support the film 'Sabina' and believe the
message of forgiveness is important for all to hear," said
Keith and Kristyn Getty, known for
their championing of hymns over the past twenty years. "We pray
that viewers are moved by the lyrics of 'It Is Well With My Soul'
and reflect on the importance of trusting God in all
circumstances."
Set during World War II, "Sabina" takes viewers on a journey
through Romania to discover why
Sabina Wurmbrand, a Jewish
Christian, would risk her life to offer a kind hand to German
soldiers—enemies who killed her entire family. The film conveys the
realities of religious persecution during that era and the cost of
following Christ when faith is forbidden. Richard Wurmbrand was imprisoned and tortured
for 14 years in a Communist prison, while Sabina Wurmbrand experienced three years in
prison and forced labor then she continued to carry on the
missionary work of her husband.
Directed by John Grooters and
distributed by Lifeway Films, "Sabina: Tortured for Christ,
the Nazi Years" will premiere in theaters nationwide on
Nov. 8, 9 and 10, through a special
Fathom Event release, following the observance of International Day
of Prayer for Persecuted Christians on Nov.
7. To learn more and to purchase tickets for "Sabina:

After premiering at Sing! 2021 in the Bridgestone Arena in
Nashville, Tennessee, "It Is Well
With My Soul" will be featured on the Getty's upcoming album
releasing Fall 2021 and be part of their Christmas tour.
Additionally, the song will be included in the Oct. 4 Getty Family Hymn Sing and the
Oct. 17 Global Hymn Sing. As part of
these events, millions of people will join in singing the Getty's
beautiful rendition of this classic hymn in an act of global
solidarity, helping to bring awareness of "Sabina" and today's
persecuted Christians to national and international audiences.
