Hillsong - Jesus Is Alive Lyrics

Jesus Is Alive centers on the resurrection as the decisive victory over death, sin, and the grave. Its repeated hallelujah and declaration that Christ lives forever give the song a clear Easter focus, while the titles “Alpha and Omega” and “the first and last” present Jesus as eternal and sovereign. The language of broken curse and liberty connects resurrection hope with freedom from sin rather than treating the event as only a past miracle.

The lyric moves from proclamation to confession: the risen Lamb is alive, reigns forever, and changes the condition of those who trust him. Revelation 22:13 closely matches the song’s titles for Christ, while 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 supplies the biblical image of death losing its victory through Jesus Christ. Galatians 5:1 also supports the emphasis on freedom, though the song expresses that theme in its own concise language. The simple repetition serves a congregational purpose, keeping attention on praise and the central Christian claim that the crucified Christ has risen.
