30+ Beautiful Easter Worship Songs for 2021
Easter worship songs are continually getting a makeover, with more and more artists revamping classic hymns and writing new contemporary music focused on this important season. So we have been researching to compile a new list of awesome Easter music and we’re super excited to share with you a selection of our favourite Easter worship songs for 2021. We hope you find something new!
You can also listen to a two hour-long playlist of the Easter music featured here on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Deezer and Pandora:
NEW FOR 2021! 1. We The Kingdom - God So Loved Genre: Worship
This uptempo worship anthem is just what we need for Easter 2021. We The Kingdom continue to inspire with their creativity and offerings in the worship space. This song would work well for this Easter season but could also become an easy go to uplifting song for any time of the year. Download now
NEW FOR 2021 2. Salt Of The Sound - Abide With Me Genre: Ambient Worship
Brand new for Easter 2021, our new 3-track Lent, Vol. 2 EP comprises two original songs, alongside this re-working of the classic hymn ‘Abide With Me’, which has been described by Louder Than The Music as 'truly something very special'. The other two songs ‘Awake My Soul’ and Constancy’ can be found on our Lent playlist. Buy now
3. Hillsong Worship - King of Kings Genre: Worship
Arguably one of the most powerful corporate worship songs of the past year, Hillsong Worship's King of Kings tells the story from birth resurrection in a powerful and dynamic way. We love this song and it definitely has a place in your Easter collection in 2021! Download now

4. The Worship Initiative / Shane & Shane - Tremble Genre: Worship
Living in Hong Kong, this song has become a powerful anthem for our church in recent months and speaks wonderfully yet subtly of the power that comes out of the Easter story. The lyrics ‘Your name is a light that the shadows can’t deny, your name will not be overcome’ are full of light and hope coming out of the darkness, which we celebrate this season. Download now
5. Phil Wickham - Living Hope Genre: Worship
Released in August last year, this new Phil Wickham song has made its way into repertoire of church worship teams worldwide and speaks the Easter message of victory and hope with great triumphance! Download now
6. Hillsong Worship - The Passion Genre: Worship
If you are looking for a worship anthem then maybe The Passion by Hillsong is the perfect song for your Easter worship set! While Hillsong’s version is a large production, featuring many musicians and backing tracks, the bridge and chorus alone works really well in a more acoustic setting and could be a great addition to any worship service, both during the Lenten season and on Easter Sunday. Download now

7. Matt Maher - The Cross Forever Speaks Genre: Worship
In recent times, Matt Maher has written some of the most loved worship music out there. This time last year he topped our Easter playlist with the song ‘Because He Lives (Amen)’ and this year he provides a brand new Easter anthem with ‘The Cross Forever Speaks’! This song has become a ‘go-to’ worship song for us and encapsulates the Easter story perfectly. Download now
8. Zach Williams - Chain Breaker (album) Genre: Singer/Songwriter/Rock
Perhaps not the most obvious choice when you first think of Easter worship songs but we do like to think outside the box! Zach Williams’ lyrics throughout the album lend themselves perfectly to the Easter message. While the title track 'Chain Breaker' is a perfect song to be sung around Easter Sunday, some of the more reflective songs including 'To The Table' would be the perfect addition for Lenten worship and devotions in 2019. Download now
9. Michael W. Smith - Surrounded Genre: Worship
We love this latest worship album offering from Michael W. Smith - and so many of these songs work perfectly in both a worship and an Easter context. The Easter medley Washed Away / Nothing But The Blood, and his version of the contemporary worship song Do It Again are perfect examples of how to and bring together powerful worship songs in a new and fresh way. Download now

10. Salt Of The Sound - Lent, Vol. 1 Genre: Ambient Worship
This 3-track release contains our original song ‘Lamb of God’ alongside reimagined versions of two beautiful hymns, perfect for the Lent and Easter seasons of 2019! Download now
11. Audrey Assad - Even Unto Death & Inheritance (album) Genre: Worship / Acoustic Audrey Assad has to be one of my favourite singer-songwriters and worship leaders. Her recent work really focuses on the cross, the resurrection and really encompasses the spirit and worshipful celebration of Easter. Her album Inheritance contains a collection of beautifully re-worked hymns and is really worth a listen for your personal worship and collective worship this Easter. Download now
12. Casting Crowns - Only Jesus Genre: Worship / Rock
From their most recent release, Casting Crowns seem to be harking back to some of the classic sounds and lyrics that we have come to know and love them for! With perfect Easter themes, both the songs Only Jesus and The Bridge are great Easter worship songs for 2019! Download now
PAUSE by Salt of the Sound
PAUSE is our weekly video-based meditation series. Through contemplative music, reflective visuals, and a short text to meditate on, we hope that these videos will allow you to stop, breathe and start your week refreshed.
13. Newsboys - Hallelujah For The Cross (album) Genre: Pop / Rock
As a worship leader, I often find myself looking for new music for worship services, and it’s easy to forget how good some old favourite hymns can be for our congregation, especially when given an effective modern twist. These are songs that everyone has grown up with and knows so well. As inspiration, have a listen to the album 'Hallelujah for the Cross' by Newsboys. In fact, we believe so strongly in the effectiveness of giving a makeover to traditional hymns and worship songs, that we have dedicated an entire article and playlist of our favourite modern and re-worked traditional hymns. Download now
14. Shane & Shane - Hymns Live Genre: Worship
This 2019 release from Shane & Shane is nothing short of incredible. They possess a huge gift in taking both contemporary worship songs and hymns, and arranging them in a way that is not only beautiful but a fantastic inspiration for church worship teams. To mix things up and remind ourselves how powerful hymns can be played, we included this version of How Great Thou Art as well as their version of the contemporary hymn In Christ Alone. Download now

15. Kari Jobe - Forever Genre: Worship
This, in my opinion, is one of the best songs released by worship leader Kari Jobe. While this version clearly uses a huge live worship band, it could also work well in a more acoustic style. ‘Forever’ definitely allows for heartfelt worship and remains to be a key Easter anthem that we see coming back year after year. Download now
16. Israel Houghton - You Are Good Genre: Gospel
Some songs become timeless and we love this song from Israel Houghton. It appears in our worship services and is one of our ‘go-to’ upbeat songs that will get everybody praising joyfully. We definitely plan to use this song as part of our Easter Sunday Worship Service as this song is what Easter is all about: Praise & Worship to our Lord for all He has done. Download now
BONUS! Hezekiah Walker – Every Praise (video by Everton Reid)
And we couldn’t not include this video again this year. If you haven’t seen this video from Everton Reid – you really need to! It encompasses every happiness that we celebrate in the rising of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ on this glorious Easter Sunday. If you do nothing else today, watch this and may it brighten your day…
