“Christ Be Magnified” by Cody Carnes
“We have been forever changed because of God’s unexplainable love for us.”Jesus’ resurrection is something truly extraordinary. Every day, we have the honor of praising God for saving us. This song’s lyrics bring us from thinking about what the whole earth would sound like if every creature could sing God’s praises, to the realization that singing God’s praises is our privilege and responsibility for eternity.
The bridge of this song holds truly powerful lyrics that summarize the declarations that should be made by every Christ-follower:
I won’t bow to idols, I’ll stand strong and worship You
And if it puts me in the fire, I’ll rejoice ‘cause You’re there too
I won’t be formed by feelings, I hold fast to what is true
If the cross brings transformation, then I’ll be crucified with You
‘Cause death is just the doorway into resurrection life
And if I join You in Your suffering, then I’ll join You when You rise
And when You return in glory with all the angels and the saints
My heart will still be singing, my song will be the same.
This song features such beautiful, poetic thoughts, something I think Cody Carnes does so well in his songwriting.


“What He’s Done” by Passion
Jesus’ death is not something that should be taken lightly. One of my favorite lyrics in this song is: “My sins are forgiven. My future is heaven. I praise God for what He’s done.” This song features Tasha Cobb’s strong, emotion-provoking vocals. “He’s worthy to receive all the worship we can bring.”
“Love of God” by Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham
We have been forever changed because of God’s unexplainable love for us. One of my favorite lyrics is: “What leads a king to pay so great a cost? All my life, my heart will sing the answer: only the love of God.” This song has a familiar and hymn-like structure.
