He Is Risen | Worship | Resurrection Anthem
He Is Risen is a new Easter worship song and resurrection anthem that captures the dramatic turn from sealed tomb to empty grave by Malachi Ben-David - scripture-rooted gospel worship with a triumphant, congregational feel built to be sung at full voice on Resurrection Sunday. If you're looking for an easter worship song, resurrection sunday songs, or christian music for Holy Week and the Passion of the Christ that moves from solemnity to celebration without losing either, this is a worship song written for the moment the silence breaks. Rooted in the resurrection accounts of Matthew 28, Luke 24, and John 20, and in the great victory declaration of 1 Corinthians 15, He Is Risen opens in the dark - "they sealed the stone, thought darkness won, three days of silence, hope seemed gone" - and then lets heaven roar.
Drawn from the Gospel resurrection narratives, Acts 2:24, Romans 6:4-5, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 and 54-57, and Revelation 1:17-18, this gospel worship release is a short, powerful, theologically concise resurrection anthem written for Easter services, sunrise services, Holy Week reflections, and any service set aside to proclaim the core of the Christian faith. "He is risen! Death has lost, the grave is broken / Jesus lives, our hope forever!" It is a resurrection worship song for the whole congregation - simple enough to sing on first hearing, strong enough to carry the full weight of the gospel. Its refrain never wavers: He is risen.
