Jesus Is Risen

I’m doing this one out of order to have it ready in plenty of time for Easter Sunday.  It is a great new song called “Jesus is Risen” by Monica O’Brien and Gina Ogilvie and is No 82 in AOV NG.  I heard Gina sing it with a crowd of young people at their conference last September and it raised the roof.  I’d recommend you listen to her version on the CD or the sample at AOV.  I hope we get a chance to use it ourselves this year.  I’ve tried to get the excitement into my backing that I heard when Gina played it.

Chorus

The stone has been rolled away and freedom is witnessed today.
