Behind The Song: Rend Collective Shares The Heart Behind Their Song “Resurrection Day”

This week’s featured song story comes to us from Rend Collective. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Resurrection Day.”

“There’s no good news with just the cross. Lots of people have die on a cross but not many people have risen from the dead. When Jesus rose from the dead that meant that for you and me there was a hope and a resurrection. Romans 8 says the power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in our bodies. So that means that in our veins is resurrection. Everyday we get up that is our resurrection day.” – Rend Collective

“Resurrection Day” Lyrics

Because You’re risen I can rise
Because You’re living I’m alive
Because Your cross is powerful
Because You rose invincible
I can get up off the floor

This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me in the grave
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me down
Say goodbye to my yesterdays
Ever since I met You I am changed
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me down

Because You rolled my stone away
Because my debt has all been paid
Because You stand in victory
Because You crushed the enemy
I can get up off the floor (get up off the floor)

This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me in the grave
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me down
Say goodbye to my yesterdays
Ever since I met You I am changed
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me down

The good news is the good news
‘Cause You chose the rugged cross
The good news is the good news
‘Cause You rose up from the dust
Your gospel is the power
That is saving all of us
So, I can get up off the floor
Come on, get up off the floor

This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me in the grave
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me down
Say goodbye to my yesterdays
Ever since I met You I am changed
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me down
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me in the grave
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me down
Say goodbye to my yesterdays
Ever since I met You I am changed
This is my resurrection day
Nothing’s gonna hold me, nothing’s gonna hold me down

Nothing’s gonna hold me down
Nothing’s gonna hold me
