Jesus Is Alive

by Phil Wickham

Theology & Meaning

Centered on the resurrection, this song captures the essence of 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 - that death has been swallowed up in victory through Christ. Affirms the core of the gospel: that our Savior conquered death and lives forever.

Worship Leadership Tips

This song shines in Easter services or any context of celebrating Jesus' victory over death. Kick it off with a high-energy introduction and maybe an exhortation like 'Let's celebrate - Jesus is alive!'

Arrangement Tips

Encourage visible joy: invite clapping, dancing, or raised hands. Because the tempo is fast, ensure the lyrics are not rushed so the congregation can sing along clearly.
