Celebrate Jesus Words and Music by Gary Oliver, popularized by Don Moen ©1988 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3
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 through his Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:11
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith– that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:8-11

Story behind the song
Gary Oliver started out as the associate music director at Truth Church when he was just 13. By the early 1980s, Gary was in his early 20s and serving as music director of the same church. One day, while preparing an Easter musical, the director of the children’s department approached Gary with a compelling problem. One shared by churches around the world. “She said to me, ‘I think that all of the songs about Easter are a little frightening and morbid to the kids. Most Easter songs are slow, and they talk about death and about Jesus dying on a cross. It’s all kind of weepy. I would love to have something that would help the children understand that we can celebrate his death, burial and resurrection.’”
As she spoke, Gary heard the words “Celebrate Jesus” in his head. “If you’ll give me 30 minutes,” Gary told her, ‘I’ll write you a song.” Gary, who had already written several praise and worship songs for the church, viewed the program from a child’s perspective. “I thought, ‘What are we trying to get them to understand? That we are celebrating Jesus’ resurrection. It wasn’t just that he died; it was that he died and rose.’ A lot of people die, but nobody else got up. I really wanted the children to understand that Easter celebrates Jesus and that the reason we celebrate Him is not just because He died but because He lives and He rose again.
