‘Hallelujah He’s Alive’ - Roma Waterman

Roma Waterman is a worship leader, composer, and author in Australia. I’ve really enjoyed her recent album, ‘Release the Sound’ which features this terrific song for Eastertide:


Roma composed the song with Dave Fitzgerald.  The album is vailable on iTunes or from www.romawaterman.com

Here’s a meditation on the resurrection by acclaimed author Frederick Buechner:

For Paul, the Resurrection was no metaphor; it was the power of God. And when he spoke of Jesus as raised from the dead, he meant Jesus alive and at large in the world not as some shimmering ideal of human goodness or the achieving power of hopeful thought but as the very power of life itself. If the life that was in Jesus died on the cross; if the love that was in him came to an end when his heart stopped beating; if the truth that he spoke was no more if no less timeless than the great truths of any time; if all that he had in him to give to the world was a little glimmer of light to make bearable the inexorable approach of endless night—then all was despair.
