He Is Risen! The Victory Is Won
An Easter declaration in English: he is risen, the victory is won. It moves from stillness into full voice, fitting the opening of an Easter service or the sending at its close.
From the silence of Good Friday to the announcement of Easter morning
6 songs in this theme
Holy Week and Easter are a road, not a single celebration. The songs in this theme are arranged along that road: the stillness before the cross first, and only then the announcement of the resurrection.
The Passion songs deliberately hold back — the torn veil, “Father, forgive them,” “It is finished” — words spoken from beneath the cross. They suit Good Friday services, meditation before Communion, and reading the Gospels alone. The Easter songs do the opposite: bright, short, easy to remember after two passes, fitting the opening and the sending of an Easter service.
These works are mostly in English, ready for English-language and bilingual services; Mandarin gatherings often use them as music for meditation.
