More about this title
About the Artist: Chris Tomlin
Chris Tomlin is a prolific Christian music artist and songwriter whose compositions have become staples in contemporary worship settings across denominations. His gift for writing accessible yet theologically substantial melodies has made him one of the most recorded artists in modern sacred music, with his songs performed by congregations and choirs worldwide.
Why we love this
Ed Hogan's arrangement captures the infectious forward motion of the original while giving choir directors a fully realized instrumental landscape to work with. The syncopated rhythmic vocabulary sits naturally in singers' voices, and the optional instrumentation scales smoothly from piano alone to a full ensemble, making this genuinely flexible for different church settings and skill levels.
What to expect
Rhythmically buoyant and celebratory, yet grounded in genuine spiritual conviction. The syncopations create a sense of forward propulsion that mirrors the emotional claim of resurrection power, while the accessible melodic writing lets singers focus on delivering the proclamation clearly.
Who it's for
Any choir director seeking a contemporary spiritual that works beyond Easter while still landing powerfully during spring programming. This arrangement works for volunteer church choirs, praise teams, and music ministry groups with access to even basic instrumentation.
How to get the most out of it
- Keep the syncopations crisp and precise; the rhythmic drive of this tune depends on everyone landing those gestures together. Rehearse the choir and rhythm section locked in before adding other instruments.
- Let the repeated musical phrases build momentum across phrases rather than reset. Each repetition should feel like it's propelling toward the next section.
- Balance the vocal line prominently so the theological weight of the text cuts through the active instrumental writing. The message matters as much as the groove.
How to use it
Consider pairing this with a more introspective seasonal piece to create programming depth during Easter worship. The contemporary style also makes it an excellent bridge between traditional hymns and modern praise in services aiming for intergenerational appeal.
