Easter - honnor Him

[Intro | Instrumental] [Soft hopeful piano with distant string swells + warm ambient textures] [Verse 1 – Palm Sunday] Palms were lifted high that day Hosanna filled the dusty way He rode in quiet majesty Toward the week that set us free [Pre-Chorus 1] They sang His name with voices bright Not seeing shadows in the light The road of love would lead Him down To thorns and cross and thorny crown [Chorus 1] This is the story that changed everything From highest praise to suffering We lift our songs to honor Him Jesus Christ, our suffering King [Verse 2 – Maundy Thursday] In upper room the bread He took And broke it with a servant’s look Feet were washed in humble grace Love was spoken face to face [Pre-Chorus 2] He knew the night would bring betrayal’s kiss Yet still He offered perfect peace Gave His body, gave His blood For the ones He dearly loved [Chorus 2] This is the story that changed everything From table light to bitter sting We lift our songs to honor Him Jesus Christ, our faithful King [Bridge – Good Friday to Holy Saturday] [Half-time, stripped back – solo piano + deep cello, vocal full of awe] Whips tore skin and darkness fell “Forgive them” rose where silence dwelled Cross stood tall against the sky “It is finished” was His cry Stone sealed hope inside the tomb The world lay still in heavy gloom No song remained, no light broke through Only waiting… only You [Final Chorus – Easter Sunday] (Full warm orchestral swell, layered soft male backing vocals – broader and more hopeful] This is the story that changed everything From deepest grave to risen King The stone rolled back, the morning sang He is risen! Death lost its sting We lift our songs to honor Him Jesus Christ, our risen King He is risen… He is risen… Forever we will honor Him [Outro] [Fading strings + gentle piano] He is risen… Songs to honor Him… Forever…
