We know many of you are already starting to plan for your Easter services, so we wanted to help by curating a list of songs themed around the resurrection of Christ. We've added a number of great songs over the past year that communicate different aspects of the Cross so we've highlighted some of the lyrics to give you a feel for the overall message of each song. We hope this will be a great resource as you are selecting songs that will minister to your congregation this year. We have also created a special Easter Playlist on Spotify so you can listen to each of these songs as you continue planning.
Alive In You - Jesus Culture
"You are God, You're the Great I Am. Breath of life, I breathe You in. Even in the fire, I'm alive in You. You are strong in my brokenness, sovereign over every step. Even in the fire I'm alive, I'm alive in You."
By Declaration & the Death - John Ball
"You, You claimed freedom with Your final breath. You lifted Your voice and You hung Your head. You, You claimed freedom with Your final breath, by declaration and the death!"
Covered - Israel & New Breed / Planetshakers / Planetshakers (Outback Worship Sessions)
"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."
The Cross Stands - Tim Hughes / Worship Central / Shane and Shane
"The cross stands above it all, burning bright in this life. The cross towers over it all. One hope, one deliverer, Savior reigning high above it all, above it all."
Death in His Grave - John Mark McMillan
"On Friday a thief, On Sunday a King. Laid down in grief, but awoke with keys to hell on that day. First born of the slain, The man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave."
Death Was Arrested - North Point
"Oh Your grace so free washes over me. You have made me new, now life begins with You. It's Your endless love pouring down on us. You have made us new, now life begins with You."

"Oh, Your love bled for me. Oh, Your blood in crimson streams. Oh, Your death is hell's defeat. A cross meant to kill is my victory."
O Praise the Name (Anástasis) - Hillsong Worship / Hillsong Worship (Live)
"And then on the third at break of dawn, the Son of heaven rose again. O trampled death where is your sting? The angels roar for Christ the King. O praise the name of the Lord our God, O praise His name forever more. For endless days we will sing Your praise, Oh Lord, oh Lord our God."
Power In The Cross - Derek Johnson / Jesus Culture
"There's power in the Cross where You proved Your love. The only sacrifice strong enough to save us. You rose in victory to let the whole world see Love has made a way. Hope is never lost. There's power in the Cross."
Remember - Passion
"Down in the valley when waters rise, I'm still believing hope is alive. All through the struggle and darkest day, I'll remember the empty grave."
Resurrecting - Elevation Worship
"The head that once was crowned with thorns is crowned with glory now. The Savior knelt to wash our feet, now at his feet we bow. Your name, Your name is victory. All praise will rise to Christ our king."
Risen - Israel & New Breed / Covenant Worship
"Risen, He's risen, forever glorified. Risen, He's risen. King Jesus, King Jesus is alive!"
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Jesus Saves) - Ghost Ship
"See, from His head, His hands, His feet sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e’er such love and sorrow meet or thorns compose so rich a crown? Jesus saves sinners by His grace, By his grace."
The Wondrous Cross - Christy Nockels
"Oh, the wondrous Cross where the Prince of Glory died. Oh, the glorious Cross where Your mercy bled for us. You overcame the grave, waking to a world You saved. Oh, the wondrous Cross."
