“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.”

These words, spoken by an angel to the women at Jesus’s tomb, changed history forever. Christ’s resurrection was more than a display of raw supernatural power. It was the single event that assures us that his payment for our sins has been accepted. God’s wrath is satisfied. Death is defeated. The powers of darkness are overcome. Sin’s dominion has been broken. And the life of the age to come has dawned.

The songs on this album celebrate these realities, experienced and enjoyed by all who place their faith and hope in Jesus Christ.

Your Name Alone Can Save

Verse 1When we were dead in our transgressionsJesus, You came to bring us back to GodYou canceled the debt that stood against usSet it aside, nailing it to the crossNow with joy we can proclaim

To Live Is Christ

Verse 1Before You gave us life and breathYou numbered all our daysYou set Your gracious love on usAnd chose us to be savedThis fleeting life is passing byWith all its joys and painBut we believe to live is Christ And death is gain

ChorusTo live is Christ, to die is gainIn every age this truth remainsWe will not fear, we’re unashamedTo live is Christ, to die is gain

Verse 2And though we grieve for those we loveWho fall asleep in ChristWe know they’ll see the Savior’s faceAnd gaze into His eyesSo now we grieve, yet we don’t grieveAs those who have no hopeFor just as Jesus rose againHe’ll raise His own

Verse 3And now we’re longing for the dayWe’ll see the Lamb once slainWho saved a countless multitudeTo glorify His nameWe’re yearning for the wedding feastOf Jesus and His brideHis nail-scarred hands will finally Bring us to His side

We Will Rise

Verse 1A seed falls down from the heightsAnd is buried in the earthIt silently lies in the groundAwaiting a rebirthSo it is with those who dieTheir lips confessing ChristBecause He is risenWith Him they will rise

Verse 2Shall we mourn as this world mournsOr shall we rest in truth?Though outwardly we waste awayWithin we are renewedThe weight of glory far transcendsThese momentary trialsBecause He is risenWith Him we will riseWe will rise

BridgeWeeping may last for an eveningBut rejoicing comes with the dawn

Verse 3To all the wonders God will doImagination’s blindWhat He has made, He’ll make anewIn the twinkling of an eyeFor death itself will be destroyedSwallowed up by lifeBecause He is risenWith Him we will riseWe will rise
