Here’s a new song for Easter from Joel Payne called Come, See the Son. It’s written in a Praise & Worship style, but is quite accessible for intergenerational congregations.
Come, see the Son of the living God
hanging on a tree,
dying there for you and me.
Come, see the bringer of truth and grace
nailed there for us,
agony across his face.
hanging on a tree,
dying there for you and me.
Come, see the bringer of truth and grace
nailed there for us,
agony across his face.
This is love displayed,
this is mercy perfectly portrayed in Christ,
the cross of Christ.
this is mercy perfectly portrayed in Christ,
the cross of Christ.
Come, see the innocent Son of God
punished there for us,
rescuing us with his blood.
Come, see the healer of wounded souls
crucified for us,
broken there to make us whole.
punished there for us,
rescuing us with his blood.
Come, see the healer of wounded souls
crucified for us,
broken there to make us whole.
Come, see the tomb where they laid him down;
the stone is rolled away,
nothing but the grave clothes now.
Come, see the King is alive again,
risen from the dead,
ushering a new age in.
the stone is rolled away,
nothing but the grave clothes now.
Come, see the King is alive again,
risen from the dead,
ushering a new age in.
This is victory,
this is life for everyone who will believe
in Jesus Christ.
this is life for everyone who will believe
in Jesus Christ.
Come and worship him,
come and sing to him,
come and live for him,
Jesus Christ.
come and sing to him,
come and live for him,
Jesus Christ.
