My friend Matt Maher has written a tip of the hat to it. I love how the lyric brings the reality of His life into the reality of our lives in such a simple and beautiful way. It occupies a special place in my reminiscing. Because I am obviously biased :), I have split my top 10 into songs that have come out of our church, and those that have not. SoРІР‚В¦ here goes the near impossible task of trying to distil the list of my favourite songs for Easter into a mere TEN. Easter provides us with an opportunity to reflect on this imperative and to realign our lives, our faith and our songs with the reality of our resurrected saviour. As Tom Wright implores in His book РІР‚ВSimply ChristianРІР‚в„ў, our songs must reveal this reality. Revelation 5 speaks of Jesus opening a scroll that represents the salvation and promises of God, that He alone had the ability to open through His death and resurrection. It is the death and resurrection of Jesus that paves the way for Pentecost, and lays the cornerstone of our faith in its place eternal life that triumphs over death and looks forward with hopeful anticipation to the absolute completion of JesusРІР‚в„ў work upon His return. The death and resurrection of Jesus marks the culmination of ancient prophesy, a pinnacle moment for the earthly expression of GodРІР‚в„ўs love in the great biblical narrative of reconciliation. Easter could well be the most important celebration in the Christian calendar.
