O Praise The Name (An'e1stasis)
by Hillsong Worship
Theology & Meaning
This song retells the story of the crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and promised return of Jesus. It keeps the focus on Christ's work and ends with a longing for His coming. The language is vivid and helps the church imagine the events of the gospel with fresh awe.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is a strong Easter song but also works throughout the year wherever you want to retell the story of Jesus. It fits well around communion or in series that walk through the passion narrative. Invite people to picture the scenes as they sing rather than just recite familiar lines.
Arrangement Tips
The 3/4 meter gives it a processional feel that can be powerful if kept steady. Build the final verse and chorus in a way that reflects the triumph of the resurrection without losing clarity. A gentle intro and outro can frame the song with reverence.
