About the Artist: Paul Baloche
Paul Baloche stands as one of the defining voices of modern worship music, with a catalog spanning four decades of songs that have shaped congregational singing across denominational lines. His gift for crafting memorable melodies paired with theologically grounded lyrics has made him a trusted voice in both church and educational settings.
Why we love this
Baloche and Kendrick's combined sensibility creates something rare: a resurrection anthem with genuine structural sophistication that never sacrifices accessibility. The arrangement by Marty Hamby strips away unnecessary complexity while preserving the visceral impact of the original, making it equally compelling whether you're working with a youth choir in a contemporary setting or blending voices in a traditional Easter service.
What to expect
Primal energy meeting clarity of purpose. The piece captures the immediacy of that Easter morning moment without theatrical excess, allowing the text and melody to do the speaking. There's an unmistakable surge of hope running through the harmonic movement, building toward moments of genuine triumph.
Who it's for
Youth choirs and praise teams will find this especially rewarding, but it works equally well in blended worship settings where you need a piece that bridges contemporary and traditional sensibilities. The straightforward vocal writing makes it accessible to singers with varying experience while the arrangement sophistication keeps it interesting for accomplished musicians.
How to get the most out of it
- Lean into the dynamic contrasts. The simplicity of the piece invites singers to shape phrases with intention rather than relying on harmonic texture to carry expression.
- Balance the instrumental energy with clarity in the vocal line. The arrangement's power comes from the directness of the proclamation, not from vocal layering.
- Consider the opening moments carefully. How you establish the tone in those first phrases sets expectations for the entire performance.
How to use it
Position this as your centerpiece Easter anthem, or use it strategically during Eastertide when you want something with contemporary feel that doesn't overshadow a larger liturgical structure. It pairs naturally with both traditional hymnic material and other contemporary worship songs in a single service.
