Resurrection and “Easter” services take place multiple times throughout the holy weekend to honor the sacrifice Jesus made with His life for our salvation. One of the things great we look forward to the most is the celebration in song. Whether it is Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday, or “Easter” Monday, we can always count on hearing one of these Gospel staples. If you are not familiar with them, we strongly encourage you to click the links and enjoy these classics during this season and throughout the year.

“Everybody lift your hands if you know that Jesus is worthy Open up and give him praise let’s do it in a hurry If you love him let’s glorify in the song and in the dance You know the savior lives come on and lift up your hands To understand just why we praise let me tell you how it all went down The news spread so very fast people came from miles around This would be the day Christ would be crucified He took his last breath he hung his head and he died They took my savior down from off that rugged cross They laid him in a tomb it seemed all hope was truly lost But the third day came along and broke the rhythm of life The stone was rolled away an angel proudly proclaimed”
