As you're working with your creative teams choosing songs for your Easter services, we thought we'd curate a brief list of songs themed around Christ's resurrection for you to consider. Whether a song starts with the story of Jesus on the cross, declares the empty tomb, or simply expounds on the victory that the cross and resurrection offers us, we have made it easy for you to find a song that meets your needs. We trust that some of the selections below will surely be appropriate and fresh for your congregation. Next to the song title are versions of the song we have available in our catalog and below each song you'll see we've highlighted some lyrics that will give you a feel for the theme and message of each song. We hope this helps you as you plan!
