Tye Tribbett - Resurrecting Lyrics
Lyrics
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
The One who wore our sin and shame
Now robed in majesty
The radiance of perfect love
Now shines for all to see
Your name, Your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King
Your name, Your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King
The tomb with 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
Your name, Your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King
Your name, Your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King
Your name, Your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King
Your name, Your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King
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
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
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
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
(Hey) He's Resurrecting Me
He's Resurrecting Me (I didn't here what you say)
He's Resurrecting Me
He's Resurrecting Me
(Wow, hey) He's Resurrecting Me
He's Resurrecting Me
Hey, He's Resurrecting Me
He's Resurrecting Me
Yeah, He's Resurrecting Me
He's Resurrecting Me
(Can I here you say) He's Resurrecting Me
He's Resurrecting Me
Oh, yeah, oh Jesus
He's Resurrecting Me
Here we go, hey
He's Resurrecting Me
Hallelujah
By Your Spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
Coming out of the grave
Coming out of the grave (That's it)
Coming out of the grave
Coming out of the grave
I'm coming out of the grave
Coming out of the grave (I wanna here that you say)
I'm coming out of the grave
Coming out of the grave
Everybody's got a different praise
Oh, everyone's coming out
Coming out of the grave
Everybody's got a different praise
Everybody's coming out
Coming out of the grave
Yeah, everybody's got a different praise

Meaning & Inspiration
Tye Tribbett's powerful anthem, "Resurrecting," released on October 13, 2017, as part of his album *The Bloody Win*, stands as a vibrant declaration of the transformative power of Christ's resurrection. This song doesn't just recount a historical event; it invites listeners into the ongoing reality of spiritual rebirth through the indwelling Spirit of God. The lyrics masterfully contrast the humiliation and suffering of Jesus – the crowned thorns, the sin and shame, the borrowed tomb – with His ultimate triumph and glory. This juxtaposition is a core tenet of Christian faith, as the Apostle Paul so eloquently states in Philippians 2:5-11, describing how Jesus, though in the form of God, humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross, so that at His name every knee would bow and every tongue confess His Lordship. The song emphasizes this victory, proclaiming that "Your name, Your name is victory," echoing the triumphant cry found in passages like 1 Corinthians 15:57, "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
The profound narrative of "Resurrecting" centers on the very act of God "robbing the grave," a direct allusion to the empty tomb that serves as the bedrock of Christian hope. This imagery resonates deeply with the biblical accounts, particularly John 20:1-9, where the disciples see the linen cloths lying and the headcloth rolled up, indicating Jesus had risen and departed. The song then pivots to the personal application of this resurrection power. Through the agency of the Holy Spirit, described in the lyrics as the catalyst for rising "from the ashes of defeat," believers are experiencing their own resurrection from spiritual death. This is not a passive hope but an active, ongoing renewal. Romans 8:11 vividly describes this: "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who dwells in you." Tribbett's message is clear: the resurrected King is actively resurrecting *us*, breathing new life into our mortal, often defeated, selves. The recurring call to "come alive" and declare victory is a direct invitation to participate in the very triumph that Christ secured, a testament to the enduring promise that in Him, we are made new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). The passionate repetition and calls for engagement are not mere musical flourishes but expressions of the overwhelming joy and certainty that accompany the understanding of this salvific work, urging all who hear to embrace this life-altering truth.
