This is a tough question for me, as I have so many favorites – including: “Rise Again,” “The Easter Song,” and “He’s Alive.” However, if I had to choose one, it would be, “Arise, My Love.”
Keith Green’s Easter Song – Hear the bells ringing . . . i especially like Glad’s rendition.
My list is more like a journey of my life. As a child: ” Low in the Grave He Lay” when we would crescendo the chorus. I love Sandi Patty’s “Was It a Morning Like This?” thinking of the rocks crying out to honor Christ, but when the words to “Watch the Lamb” were read one Easter, the magnitude of a parent’s role in showing Christ to a child was so clear to me. Easter has never been the same.
Just to name something other than your choices, how about the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah? Or maybe Roll the Stone Away.
“Resurrection” by H.F. Morris and T. B. Mosley. Start it slow and quiet. Increase the pace just a bit for the duet. Again increasing the volumn and pace as the Semi-Chorus. Turn the Bass loose for their solo. Then Accelerate and sing from the low part of the diaphram for the Full Chorus. It tells sit all from the shame to the glory. I have loved this song since I was a child. When sung from the heart, it brings tears to the eyes of those who hear, truly hear it.
I am partial to “Christ The Lord Is Risen Today.” The last line brings it home for me… “Where’s the victr’y boasting grave? Hallelujah!” Especially when the leader slows it way down and emphasizes that phrase.
