As you and your creative teams are beginning to plan for your Easter services, we thought we'd help by curating a list of songs all themed around Christ's resurrection. Here are some great songs that we have added over the last year, all of which help to share the good news of what Christ did for us. As these songs focus on different aspects of the cross, we have highlighted some of the lyrics so you can get a feel for the overall theme and message. We hope this will make it easy for you to find the right songs that will minister to your congregation this year.
Seas of Crimson - Bethel Music
"Hallelujah, death is beaten. Christ is risen from the grave. Hallelujah, it is finished. All to you the highest praise!"
Lamb of God - Vertical Church Band
"The Lamb of God in my place, Your blood poured out, my sin erased. It was death, You died. I am raised to life. Hallelujah, the Lamb of God."
Because He Lives (Amen) - Matt Maher
"I was dead in the grave, I was covered in sin and shame. I heard mercy call my name. He rolled the stone away."
Calvary - Hillsong Worship
"Calvary covers it all. My sin and shame don't count anymore. All praise to the One who has ransomed my soul. Calvary covers it all."
Covered - Planetshakers
"Grace, glorious grace. Grace, glorious grace. At the cross You called it finished. Grace, wonderful grace. Grace, wonderful grace. At the cross all of my sin is covered, covered, covered by Your grace."
At the Cross (Love Ran Red) - Chris Tomlin
"At the cross, at the cross I surrender my life. I'm in awe of You, I'm in awe of You. Where your love ran red and my sin washed white. I owe it all to You, I owe it all to You, Jesus."
Power To Redeem - Lauren Daigle
"With breath it brings the dead to life, with words that pierce the dark with life. Only by the blood are we set free. With mercy strong to carry shame and nail it to a tree, You alone hold the power to redeem."
Victory - Hillsong College
"Three days on the stone gives way. Ain't nothing but an empty grave. Gather all the sinners 'round. Tell them what great love we've found. Victory! Victory! Conquered death, set me free. Victory! Victory! Jesus alive in me."
It Was Finished - Bryan & Katie Torwalt
"Three days buried. They came to mourn. The stone was rolled away, the veil was torn for He had risen. He is king of all the earth."
