Resurrecting – Elevation Worship

There are a few different versions of this song but our favorite right now is the acoustic version. In addition, we love this lyric.

“By Your spirit I will rise, From the ashes of defeat, The resurrected King Is resurrecting me”

The Anthem – Planetshakers

This powerful ballad, was listed in the Top 20 for songs from 2013 and for good reason. The song is continuing to be sung on a regular basis in churches across the world. We think bringing in a classic would be a nice mix to the newer Easter offerings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415802511{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/u_ZWEO36jok”][vc_column_text]Released: 2016

Forgiven – Crowder

It may not be the first song you think about for Easter but considering the people that are going to be visiting your church on Easter we felt that this song might resonate. I love this video from David Crowder on the reason for adding this song to American Prodigal.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415802511{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/3F1ADeQcIIU”][vc_column_text]Released: 2006

Hosanna (Praise Is Rising) – Paul Baloche

It is a good idea to add some older classics in the mix and we felt this one was a good choice. Again, it may not be the first song you think of for Easter but we love the lyric…

Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day

Man Of Sorrows – Hillsong

We aren’t sure you can do Easter Worship songs without adding a song from Hillsong. This song embodies the story of the resurrection so well. I also never get tired of seeing an entire congregation of people erupt in cheers when the we sing

See the stone is rolled away, behold the empty tomb, HALLELUJAH God be praised, He’s risen from the grave

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415802511{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/AwgWbIOt0ko”][vc_column_text]Released: 2017

Death Was Arrested – Northpoint InsideOut

Brandon Coker is the drummer and one of the writers and I love what he says about the inspiration for this song. He found a tombstone that read “Here rests what was mortal of Samuel Burr, age 42. In search of help far from home, death arrested his progress on April 2, 1831. Quietly he fell asleep in the Christian hope of immortality and glory forever.” Here is the full interview with Brandon and Seth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415802511{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/pRZSRi5yyoQ”][vc_column_text]Released: 2014

At The Cross (Love Ran Red) – Chris Tomlin

Once again I am not sure it is possible to get through Easter without singing a song from Chris Tomlin. We have had so many great songs like Good, Good Father or How Great Is Our God. I am not sure I have ever been able to sing this song without tearing up. I love the lyric “where your love ran red and my sin washed white.” It is such a beautiful depiction of what Jesus did for us on the cross.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415802511{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/KMf26R3F3x4″][vc_column_text]Released: 2017
Album: Good News

Rescuer – Rend Collective

This is one of the newest songs on the list but I added it because I felt the gospel groove of the song was a nice change. I believe it could be a fun one to do with the congregation. I found this video on the story behind the song and wanted to share with you.

I’m Going Free – Vertical Church Band

We chose this song just for the energy that is waged when everyone gets on their feet and sings together. Songs like this make for a moment and with lyrics like “Hallelujah you threw my shackles in the sea…..Jesus is my liberty, I’m going free.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415802511{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/nQWFzMvCfLE”][vc_column_text]Released: 2016

“What A Beautiful Name” – Hillsong

Again this isn’t your typical Easter song but it is so popular with many people (event those that don’t visit church regularly) that we thought it might be a good addition. I love this quote from Hillsong regarding this song “To know God and to worship Him (and enjoy him forever) is the most fundamental reason for our existence.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In addition to the 10 we just shared with you we have come up with another 20 (just in case you need a few more ideas). Some are pretty new while others are several years old. Check these out.

6 Worship Songs for Christmas 2017

kamil_hopeware — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 19:00:22 +0000

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s that time of year where every radio station becomes a 24/7 playlist of joyful sounds, reminding us that Christmas is nearing. Just the other day I found myself in a conversation about how repetitive Christmas can be this time of year. Since our friends at TripleWide Media have been doing the “Transform Christmas” campaign, helping you keep this amazing holiday season fresh and new, we figured we would help as well! Here’s our list of new worship songs for Christmas 2017 that you may want to incorporate this Christmas season.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415788190{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8972″][luv_button target=”_blank” size=”” color_scheme=”default” href=”https://open.spotify.com/track/2U8ktRTW0SpL7GS994KNQE” text=”Listen on Spotify”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][luv_dropcaps style=”luv-dropcaps-square” font_family=”Poppins” color_scheme=”default” letter=”1″][vc_column_text]

Glory In The Highest – Meredith Andrews

This song has such an easy melody to learn, but accompanies rich lyrics of the Christmas story, which makes it a perfect combination for one of the new worship songs for Christmas this year. This mid-tempo anthem is sure to be one that’s easy to sing along with, and provide that Christmas worship atmosphere. (Plus, we love Meredith at SALT! She led us in worship at SALT14)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415802511{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8973″][luv_button target=”_blank” size=”” color_scheme=”default” href=”https://open.spotify.com/track/3xdfuy4Jfy4IiIYNVp7Rsx” text=”Listen on Spotify”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][luv_dropcaps style=”luv-dropcaps-square” font_family=”Poppins” color_scheme=”default” letter=”2″][vc_column_text]

Emmanuel (God With Us Forever) – Bryan and Katie Torwalt

This powerful ballad, on an amazing Christmas album from Bryan and Katie Torwalt, was a must include for our new worship songs for Christmas in 2017. Simple, but powerful. With a very singable chorus. Even if you don’t use this song as a congregational song, it could be an amazing solo during an offering or right after the sermon. (TripleWide also has some media ideas for this song.)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415876936{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8974″][luv_button target=”_blank” size=”” color_scheme=”default” href=”https://open.spotify.com/track/1j9QUoK75Cu2dFaVUSliwW” text=”Listen on Spotify”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][luv_dropcaps style=”luv-dropcaps-square” font_family=”Poppins” color_scheme=”default” letter=”3″][vc_column_text]

Your Name (Christmas) – Paul Baloche

Though this song isn’t necessarily new, this version is because Paul so beautifully weaves the Christmas story into the third verse of “Your Name”. What a great way to bring Christmas into your worship moments, by incorporating a song like this during Christmas this year.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415863135{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8972″][luv_button target=”_blank” size=”” color_scheme=”default” href=”https://open.spotify.com/track/30FcsBuZdXw9XjiFdljWH4″ text=”Listen on Spotify”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][luv_dropcaps style=”luv-dropcaps-square” font_family=”Poppins” color_scheme=”default” letter=”4″][vc_column_text]

Labor of Love – Meredith Andrews

If you can’t tell, we’re big fans of the latest Christmas album from Meredith Andrews! And another favorite is Labor of Love. This powerful song that accompanies a unique perspective from the night Jesus was born, is one to consider this Christmas. It may not be as congregational as you are used to, but could be an incredible special worship song to incorporate. (p.s. here are some great media ideas for this song)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1512415857481{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;border-bottom-color: #808285 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8975″][luv_button target=”_blank” size=”” color_scheme=”default” href=”https://open.spotify.com/track/0G46A4PQeem2ejAHUjYYOI” text=”Listen on Spotify”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][luv_dropcaps style=”luv-dropcaps-square” font_family=”Poppins” color_scheme=”default” letter=”5″][vc_column_text]

O Come All Ye Faithful – Tenth Avenue North

This fun, upbeat and exciting rendition of O Come All Ye Faithful. What a great song to open up a fun Christmas service, and with the right visual atmosphere, you are likely to get your audience on it’s feet, enjoying the upbeat nature of this song. This is a perfectly fun song for any church that also has some volunteer horn players too![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”8977″][luv_button target=”_blank” size=”” color_scheme=”default” href=”https://open.spotify.com/track/2S7l1NX9bWLm0fgg8hhWYR” text=”Listen on Spotify”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][luv_dropcaps style=”luv-dropcaps-square” font_family=”Poppins” color_scheme=”default” letter=”6″][vc_column_text]

Make Room – Casting Crowns (featuring Matt Maher)

Lastly, the amazing Casting Crowns and Matt Maher joined forces to bring us a great worship song for Christmas that you should consider putting into your mix this holiday season! With simple, and powerful lyrics, it’s sure to be one that is easy for your congregation to pick up, and help usher in that Christmas spirit.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
