Put Together Your Easter Playlist

Music is powerful and can move us into a deeper connection with God. As Easter approaches, music can help us prepare our hearts to fully embrace the significance of this season. Whether you’re driving to work, spending quiet moments in personal devotion, or gathering with family, worship songs can carry you through the Easter season with their messages of hope, victory, and new life. That is why creating an Easter playlist could be a powerful way to connect with God this Easter season

Why an Easter Playlist?

The story of Easter—from the sorrow of the cross to the triumph of the resurrection—contains the full emotional spectrum of our faith journey. A worship playlist can help you process and respond in worship to what God has done.

Here are some ideas of what type of worship songs you can include in your Easter Playlist

Songs of Resurrection Power

Start your Easter playlist with celebratory songs that capture the victory of Easter morning. “Christ Is Risen” by Matt Maher declares the powerful truth that “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling over death by death.” You can also add “Living Hope” by Phil Wickham, which beautifully expresses how Christ’s resurrection broke the chains of our sin and death.

Reflective Worship

Include songs that invite deeper contemplation of the cross that preceded resurrection joy. “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us” provides a moving reflection on Christ’s sacrifice, while “Man of Sorrows” by Hillsong Worship walks through the crucifixion to resurrection narrative with reverent awe.

Easter Joy

Traditional hymns are also great songs to include on your Easter Playlist, even those reimagined for more  contemporary worship. “Crown Him (Majesty)” blends the timeless lyrics of “Crown Him with Many Crowns” with modern expressions of praise. “Forever (We Sing Hallelujah)” by Kari Jobe powerfully proclaims, “Forever He is glorified, forever He is lifted high, forever He is risen, He is alive!”

Personal Response

You can also complete your Easter playlist with songs of personal response like “Because He Lives” or “My Redeemer Lives,” which connect the historical resurrection to our daily lives. These remind us that Easter isn’t just about an event 2,000 years ago but about the living Christ who walks with us today.

Conclusion

As you listen to these Easter-focused songs in the coming weeks, allow the music to draw you deeper into the Easter story—a story that continues to transform lives today with its message of hope, forgiveness, and new beginnings.
