Risen King of Glory Easter Worship Anthem | Death Has Lost Its Hold
Risen King of Glory Easter Worship Song – He Is Risen by Malachi Ben-David
“Early in the morning while the darkness still remained… Heaven’s light was breaking, the stone had been removed. Risen King of Glory!”
Malachi Ben-David’s majestic “Risen King of Glory” is a powerful Easter worship anthem that walks the full road from the sealed tomb to the throne. From heavy hearts carrying spices to the angel’s announcement and the risen Christ speaking Mary’s name, this worship song celebrates the victory of the empty tomb and the reign of the Risen King.
This scripture-rooted Easter worship anthem is perfect for Resurrection Sunday, sunrise services, Holy Week, and any time the church needs to declare that Jesus is alive.
The Story Behind “Risen King of Glory”
The song starts where the women found themselves — arriving at the tomb with spices, hearts heavy with pain, expecting death. Then heaven breaks in: the stone is removed, the angel declares “He is risen,” Mary hears her name, and the disciples gather in awe as the risen Christ stands in their midst.
It doesn’t stay at the tomb. It lifts to the throne: “Alive forever, seated on the throne, we worship You, O Risen Christ.” The resurrection is not just a past event — it’s the present reality and the future hope of every believer.
