The resurrection in simple language based on the account of John's gospel - an all-age worship song for churches. Vocals by Sue Crossman of Hopestream Worship.
This is a reminder of why we come together to worship, bringing all of ourselves and offering whatever we can, but remembering that we're also sustained and supported when we're scattered within our communities. It has worked well to bring congregations to a more receptive place of encounter, particularly after a spell of high praise.
Based on verses from the Holy Bible:
“Whoever goes to the Lord for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty can say to Him, You are my defender and protector, You are my God; in You I trust”.
(Psalm 91:1-2 GNT)
“…there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord”. (Romans 8:39 GNT)
Written for the ‘Refugee’ month challenge for the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge, June 2023. The wonderful Sue Crossman from Hopestream Worship provided vocals. This song reminds us that we have all been people in need, and if we follow Jesus’ example we will treat those we see in need as he did.
Note: The chords and sheet music are in the original key of B minor, but the recording with Sue is in G# minor.

God’s people were surrounded by enemies and in desperate need. Now, after many intervening dangers, they realize with joy that God has been on their side: defending, sustaining, and releasing them from death. God’s care and love is ultimately revealed to us in Jesus, who offered his own life in sacrifice to save us, and who in resurrection power showed himself sovereign over death, “the last enemy to be destroyed”.
