2025 SonRise Service Song Lyrics

O Praise the Name (Anastasis)/ How Great is Our God

[Verse 1]
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet
My Saviour on that cursed tree

[Verse 2]
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone

Chorus 1
O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise His name forever-more
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord, our God

Verse 3
Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of Heaven rose again
O trampled death where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King

Verse 4
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing Son shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face

Chorus 2
O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise His name forever-more
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord, our God
Oh Lord, oh Lord, our God
Oh Lord, oh Lord, our God

My heart will sing, How great
My heart will sing, How great is our God
Because He Lives

[Verse 1]
God sent His son they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives
 
[Chorus]
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
 
[Verse 2]
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because He lives
 
[Chorus]
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
 
[Verse 3]
And then one day I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death gives way to victory
I'll see the lights of glory and
I'll know He lives
 
[Chorus]
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
