Our resurrection is quite rightly eclipsed by the great and utterly astonishing fact that the Son of God was first raised from the dead. Because so much time and energy is put into focussing on Jesus, “the first-born from the dead”, in gathered worship, very little if any is given over to celebrating the wonder of the implications of that resurrection for our very own.
I wanted to write something that was simple, but not simplistic; something that would at once be accessible but also attempt to plumb the immense depths of the truths found in 1 Corinthians 15 about our future hope.
This was written as part of Resound Worship’s 12 Song Challenge in September 2022 when the monthly theme was Songs of Christian Hope.
