Lyrics
Verse 1
The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now
The Savior knelt to wash our feet
Now at his feet we bow
Verse 2
The one who wore our sin and shame
Now robed in majesty
The radiance of perfect love
Now shines for all to see
Chorus (x2)
Your name
Your name
Is victory
All praise
Will rise
To Christ our king
Verse 3
The fear that held us now gives way
To him who is our peace
His final breath upon the cross
Is now alive in me
Bridge (x3)
By your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected king
Is resurrecting me
In your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected king
Is resurrecting me
Verse 4
The tomb where soldiers watched in vain
Was borrowed for three days
His body there would not remain
Our God has robbed the grave
Our God has robbed the grave

Meaning & Inspiration
“Resurrecting – Your Name Is Victory” by Elevation Worship is built on the contrast between the cross and the throne. The first verse says the head once crowned with thorns is crowned with glory now, and that the Savior who knelt to wash feet is the one before whom the singers now bow. The second verse describes the one who wore sin and shame as now robed in majesty.
The chorus is short and direct: “Your name is victory. All praise will rise to Christ our king.” The bridge turns personal with “By Your Spirit I will rise from the ashes of defeat,” and the line “The resurrected king is resurrecting me.” That recalls Romans 8:11, which speaks of the Spirit who raised Jesus giving life to believers.
The last verse looks to the tomb, borrowed for three days, and repeats that God has robbed the grave. The song is a declaration of Easter hope and Christ’s victory.
