He Is Risen | Worship | Resurrection Anthem

He Is Risen opens not with a shout but with a stone. "They sealed the stone, thought darkness won, three days of silence, hope seemed gone." Before this Easter worship song ever says the word risen, it honors the silence - three days when the disciples had no idea what was coming, when every hope they had staked on Jesus of Nazareth seemed buried with Him. The song earns its celebration by sitting for one verse in the dark. As a Holy Week resurrection anthem, it follows the same arc the Gospels follow: the cross, the tomb, the sealed silence, and then the breaking of everything that darkness thought it had settled.

The result is a song you can learn end-times theology from while your head is nodding.
