The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, symbolizing hope, redemption, and renewal. What better way to celebrate this powerful event than through music that elevates the heart and soul?

In this first part of our Easter worship series, we’ve curated five powerful songs that will inspire joy and gratitude as you reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus. These songs not only bring comfort but also remind us of the ultimate victory over sin and death. Let’s dive into these anthems of hope and worship.

1. “Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin

Chris Tomlin’s “Resurrection Power” is a dynamic worship anthem that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. With its powerful lyrics and energetic arrangement, it emphasizes the victory over death and the new life that is found in Christ. The chorus resonates deeply with every believer, reminding us of the transforming power that the resurrection brings into our lives:

“You called me from the grave by name
You called me out of all my shame
I see the old has passed away
The new has come.”

The song echoes the truth of Romans 6:4: “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”

2. “Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)” – Casting Crowns

Casting Crowns brings a song of hope with “Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me).” This song takes us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, reminding us of His love and sacrifice. The lyrics draw us to the reality that Christ’s victory over death is the ultimate “glorious day” that we celebrate:

“One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

“Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day.”

3. “Living Hope” – Phil Wickham

Living Hope” by Phil Wickham is a soul-stirring worship anthem that celebrates the hope that Jesus’ resurrection brings. The song speaks of the power of Christ’s sacrifice and the freedom that comes through His victory over the grave. With its moving chorus, it invites us to reflect on the beauty of Christ’s resurrection:

“Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free,
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me.

“You have broken every chain
There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope.”

This song is a beautiful declaration of hope, drawing from the truth found in 1 Peter 1:3:
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

4. “O Praise the Name (Anástasis)” – Hillsong Worship

There’s no better way to kick off Easter worship than with a song that celebrates the victorious resurrection of Christ. Hillsong Worship’s “O Praise the Name (Anástasis)” is a powerful anthem that captures the essence of Christ’s triumph over death. The lyrics take us through the pivotal moments of Jesus’ passion, from the cross to the tomb, to His glorious resurrection.

“I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me.
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet.
My Savior on that cursed tree.

“His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb.
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone.”

This song speaks to the heart of Easter: Christ’s death and resurrection that paved the way for eternal life. It reminds us of the power of praise in light of His victory, aligning with the scripture, “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” (Matthew 28:6, NIV).

5. “Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship

“Resurrecting” by Elevation Worship is a powerful anthem that magnifies the resurrection power of Jesus. With its soaring vocals and dynamic instrumentation, it reflects the triumph of Christ’s life over death. This song captures the monumental truth that Jesus’ resurrection brings new life and hope to believers today.

“The tomb where soldiers watched in vain
Was borrowed for three days
His body there would not remain
Our God has robbed the grave
Our God has robbed the grave (yes He has, yes He has).”

The song celebrates the truth that we serve a resurrected King, who now reigns in victory. It aligns with Romans 6:4, which says, “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” (Romans 6:4, NIV).
