Resurrection
Bill & Gloria Gaither Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blow the trumpets and horns ′til there is no one who hasn't heard,
"We shall not die anymore!"
I′m here to tell you that Jesus lives;
As He lives, so shall we.
Dying and fear have all passed away,
Swallowed in victory!
Morning has broken the cords away,
Why seek the living among the dead?
Jesus, your Lord, is not here.
He is alive, He's not here!
Then where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O grave, is your sting?
Come, children, and dance with me!
Sing to our living King!
For love wins over everything, melts the spear and the sword.
Join hands, let your voices ring, Christ is our risen Lord!
Open the prisons and ring the bells!
Join the ransomed and free, in celebration for what He′s done;
Jesus, the Christ, sets you free!
He sets you free! He sets you free! He sets you free! He sets you free!
Jesus, the Christ, sets you free!
The lyrics of Bill & Gloria Gaither's song Resurrection are about the joy and hope that the resurrection of Jesus Christ brings to believers. The song starts with a call to celebrate and announce the good news of Jesus's resurrection, saying that death and fear have been defeated and that believers will also live forever. The lyrics then refer to some Bible verses, such as 1 Corinthians 15:55, to question and challenge death and the grave, which have lost their power because Christ has triumphed over them.
The song's chorus emphasizes the victory of love over everything else, including the weapons of war, and invites listeners to dance and sing to honor the living King. The last part of the lyrics speaks directly to the listeners, encouraging them to let go of their fears and doubts, to embrace the freedom that Christ offers, and to join in the celebration of His resurrection.
Overall, Resurrection is a powerful and uplifting song that inspires believers to trust in Christ's victory over death and to live in joy and hope because of Him.

Luke 24:15-27 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.✝️🛐
