He Rose to Set Us Free

I’ve posted a new song by Kevin Hartnett, my wife, and myself titled “He Rose to Set Us Free.” It’s a children’s song for Easter.

VERSE 1
Let joyful songs of thankfulness
Fill every heart today!
For God, in love, devised a plan
To take our sins away!

CHORUS
He rose up from the grave that day,
He rose for all to see!
He died to take the sinner’s place,
He rose to set us free!

VERSE 2
To pay for sins, men had to die,
Our sinless God had said,
But he sent down His perfect Son
To take our place instead.

VERSE 3
It was a most amazing plan
That Christ should die for me;
And to declare God’s work complete
He rose to life again!

He is Risen! – Eric Schumacher

Eric Schumacher posts a new Easter text. It goes with the tune for “All Creatures of Our God and King”:

Here’s two of the verses:

O trumpet, sound a vict’ry call!
And tongues proclaim good news for all!
He is risen! He is risen!
O! Let a thousand hymns break forth
Proclaiming our Redeemer’s worth.
Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!

O! Let the nations sing the fame
Of Christ the Lamb who once was slain!
He is risen! He is risen!
Now we await the coming day,
When all those raised in Christ will say—
“Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!”
