Christian country rock
Welcome to my site. I have posted a bunch of songs on this site. I hope you enjoy listening. Most of these songs are either Country or Jazz, but there are exceptions...but all are family friendly.
My influences are the country rockers of the 70's & 80's. In addition, I have influences in other genre's of music as well, but I really like the beat, and harmonies present in Country Rock.
So sit back and enjoy.
Story behind the song
This song took a long time to get to this point. I originally wrote this about 10 years ago, and had lost the song lyric sheet. Last year (2010) I decided to have a go at recording this....and basically had to rewrite it from what I could remember.
Lyrics
Jesus Is Risen Herb Hartley 2010/2000
The sun was was low and rising, in the garden
As the women slowly made their way.
To the place where they had laid their dear friend Jesus
Teardrops still streaming down their face
Remembering all the the things they just saw happen.
Jesus was nailed upon a cross.
Hung and left to die between two sinners.
Their tender hearts, still aching from the loss.
When they got there they found the tomb was open
Cautiously, they slowly stepped inside
They heard a man's voice ask, why are you crying
Setting there an angel dressed in white.
and he said
The chains have been broken, Jesus is risen
Death could not hold him, inside it's dark prison
A new day is dawning, and Jesus is living.
Give God the glory, for Jesus is risen.
(Twin guitar solo)
They hurried home to tell their friends the story.
All the things the angel had to say.
They couldn't believe the words the angel told them
could such a thing be happening today.
Suddenly, standing there among them.
Was Jesus, with a smile on his face.
He said My friends, the words that I have told you.
Are coming true in front of you today.
The chains have been broken, Jesus is risen
Death could not hold him, inside it's dark prison
A new day is dawning, and Jesus is living.
Give God the glory, for Jesus is risen.
Give God the glory, for Jesus is risen.
