Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone…the greatest day in history…Jesus is Alive!  The resurrection of Jesus Christ is our victory over sin and death, it is the promise of eternal life, it is what moved the Apostle Paul to quote Hosea when he wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:55 “O death, where is your victory?  O death, where is your sting?”  We can look at death without fear because of Jesus’ resurrection.  Even today artists sing and write in beautiful ways capturing the significance of Jesus’ resurrection.  I love this song I heard for the first time this year by Corey Voss, it is called Praise the King.  We hope sharing the lyrics here encourages you today and draws you closer to God.  Happy Easter!

There’s a reason why the curse of sin is broken
There’s a reason why the darkness runs from light
There’s a reason why we stand here now forgiven
Jesus is alive

There’s a reason why we are not overtaken
There’s a reason why we sing on through the night
There’s a reason why our hope remains eternal
Jesus is alive

Praise the King, He is risen
Praise the King, He’s alive
Praise the King, death’s defeated
Hallelujah, He’s alive
Hallelujah, He’s alive

There’s a reason why our hearts can be courageous
There’s a reason why the dead are made alive
There’s a reason why we share His resurrection
Jesus is alive, oh, He’s alive

Praise the King, He is risen
Praise the King, He’s alive
Praise the King, death’s defeated
Hallelujah, He’s alive
Hallelujah, He’s alive

The grave could not ignore it
When all of heaven’s roaring
Hell, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?
The world cannot ignore it
When all the saints are roaring
Hell, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?
The grave could not ignore it
When all of heaven’s roaring
Hell, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?
The world cannot ignore it
When all the saints are roaring
Hell, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?!
