Our Savior has risen!
The
Easter Sunday of the Lord’s Resurrection, as the greatest and most important
Christian feast, is a Day of Obligation for all Christians.
The resurrection of Jesus
reminds us that God makes all things new. It also reveals to all believers the deepest meaning and purpose of
the Christian’s faith in the One who came to destroy death and give life to the
world.
Here are
some of the best known (powerful, Scripture-centered) Easter hymns that
celebrate the resurrection of our Christ.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives
---Because He Lives
