New this Easter season, the Very Simply Word series from Word Music & Church Resources presents a joyful, spirit-filled musical..RISEN KING! Bringing together top hymns and songs from today’s leading artists and songwriters, and arranging them in an easy-learn, easy-sing fashion, RISEN KING is sure to bring resounding worship and praise to your church this Easter as you celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

RISEN KING will be popular among your congregation with its showcase of beautiful hymn arrangements like Crown Him (Majesty), contemporary anthems such as Forever (We Sing Hallelujah) by Kari Jobe and Christ Is Enough from Hillsong, and worship favorites penned by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend.

Through its compelling narration and delicately-crafted arrangements, RISEN KING successfully recounts the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, reminding us that through His resurrection and conquering of the grave, sin was defeated, the battle won! Through Christ’s victory on the cross we are born again to a living hope, an everlasting promise of eternal life with our Father in Heaven…free from sin and brokenness and full of love and unending grace. What Good News! This Easter holiday, may you rest and rejoice once again in the truth that we are people of the “Risen King”!

A Renaissance-era carol brought up to date in a fresh contemporary setting. Veteran Broadway music director and conductor Ben Cohn brings a modern musical theatre sound to this traditional English song. A serenely sparse piano part (during two opening alto solos) gradually grows to a full and glorious accompaniment as more voices join. Listen closely for the juxtaposed stillness/motion and minor/major that symbolize the cold of winter versus the warmth of the season. The entire piece garners edge-of-your-seat wonder, but the greatest chills will come when brief strains from four additional carols trickle in. Simply stunning.
