Inspirational Christian songs of praise/worship/encouragement/scripture in a simple, engaging, singable style.
My name is Cyndi Aarrestad, and I am a singer/songwriter, wife and mom living on a farm near a small community in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. I am married to Dennis, and together we have raised three awesome young adults. I grew up in a Christian family where singing and music were always a part of our home. Both of my parents played multiple instruments, and all of us children learned to play several as well. We often sang at seniors homes and other special events. At about age 14 I started writing songs on the piano, and later learned the guitar which is now what I often play and compose with. Many of the songs I write are simple praise choruses and childrens songs, but I have also written numerous full-length songs with a style I would describe as a combination of praise/inspirational/country gospel. I have also written and performed many songs customized for special events, such as weddings, dedications, anniversaries, family reunions, Christmas programs, funerals, etc.. I have written over 2,400 songs, and have made 11 recordings in a friends home studio, with my latest 18 recorded at my home, as well as 3 professionally recorded ones over the past 4 years. I also had one CD recorded by the CBC for their radio show Road Records after being chosen in their contest, and I had a song chosen by a Nashville company to be featured in their demo showcase, which was made available to publishers and performers throughout North America. I have had some recent international radio exposure, including having several songs on the European Country Music charts, and an internet presence on various music sites. My latest album, "Restore", is releasing May, 2025. I post new choruses and songs on: https://www.facebook.com/CyndiAarrestadsMusicPage or https://www.facebook.com/Cyndi-Aarrestad-Scripture-Songs-To-Share-435658573172003/ as well as on my soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/cyndiaar On my website, www.cyndiaarrestad.ca I have all my music available as well as a blog of inspiring quotes, scriptures and articles. I believe God has given me a gift to write music, and I am looking to share these songs, wherever He opens up an opportunity. My desire is to honor & glorify Him by sharing what He has given to hopefully encourage and edify the body of Christ. Website: www.cyndiaarrestad.ca

Story behind the song
I was pondering on how the first witnesses of the resurrection must have felt, and the joyful discovery of the resurrection came alive in this song.
Lyrics
HE IS RISEN 1.Her Lord is dead and buried, underneath the ground A stone in the tomb019s entrance and the soldiers all around Her heart is breaking as she comes, sure of what she019ll see But He019s not here, the angel says, and tells her joyously Cho) He is risen, risen from the dead He is risen, alive just like He said Death could not hold Him, He broke the power of hell Resurrection morning, Jesus is alive and well 2.Their hearts were filled with sorrow, how could they go on Their Master had been taken, and their hope was all but gone But then the joyful shouts were heard, as the women came They ran to see, Oh can it be, He is alive again 3.Each Easter we remember, what our Lord has done Redemption that was purchased and the victory He won But everyday let us rejoice, and celebrate His gift And strengthen one another, with the news that Jesus lives
