Easter songs

[Joshcobia]

Hey fellow worship leaders. WHat are some GOOD easter songs? Im putting together my set this week! I was wondering what you guys have come up with?

[webebo]

I am writing a cantata style worship service for Easter sunday morning. I have picked five songs that we are going to do, and they will be mingled in with a narration and slides and loops on the projector. I am in the process of writing the narration and collecting the slides and loops, but here are the songs I have picked for Easter:

Open with How He Loves by David Crowder, then in the middle of the cross part of the narration go into Nothing But The Blood by Matt Redman. Then the narration is going to move onto 'Sunday Morning', where we will sing God is Alive by Fee, some more narration, then Hallelujah I Am Free by Trent Smith, then wrap up the narration by talking about how every knee will bow to the name of Jesus, and end the program with No Sweeter Name by Kari Jobe. Play this last song through about half way, then have pastor make a call to the alter for salvation.

This is what we are going to attempt. Seems to be coming to together nicely right now, and I like the progression of the songs in telling the story.

After hearing it, and listening, with what I had in my head to do for easter, there was no other song that would fit. Can't wait to do it.

Awesome, Jason, I'm glad that song is working for ya!

[Once Far Off]

Here's our set (wip)

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty - Passion's Hymns CD
Crown Him with Many Crowns - Michael W Smith
Happy Day - Fee
Mighty to Save
In Christ Alone
At the Foot of the Cross
Revelation Song

Still putting it together, but once we get Crown Him done, it's all downhill from there...

Here are some songs that we're considering for Easter.

Shout Unto God - Hillsong United
You Are Here (The Same Power) - Hillsong London
God Is Alive - Fee Band
Happy Day - Tim Hughes
My Savior Lives - New Life Worship

Trying to find high energy tunes that are modern like the above...

Any other suggestions?
