Oh, Praise the Name (Anastasis)

Music and words by Benjamin Hastings, Dean Ussher and Marty Sampson


I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me.
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet;
My Savior on that cursed tree.

O praise the name of the Lord our God.
O praise His name forevermore.
For endless days we will sing Your praise,
O Lord, O Lord our God.

His body bound and drenched in tears,
They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb.
The entrance sealed by heavy stone.
Messiah still and all alone.

Then on the third at break of dawn,
The Son of Heaven rose again.
O trampled death, where is your sting?
The angels roar for Christ the King.

He shall return in robes of white,
The blazing sun shall pierce the night.
And I will rise among the saints,
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face.
