Easter Song - Anne Herring/Keith Green cover (live, by Simeon Visscher) + Lyrics in description

(Subtitles for the few Dutch words aren't visible on mobile devices) Live performance of Anne Herring's Easter Song, originally performed by Keith Green and 2nd chapter of acts. One of the best Easter Songs ever written.
Recorded at the "Soester Paasjubel 2010", a yearly Easter Celebration in Soest, the Netherlands.

My skills are nowhere near Keith's (and will never be), but "I'll just keep doing my best, I pray that it's blessed, and Jesus takes care of the rest." Oh, may God help me reach people through music more and more! If you don't know Keith Green, you should definitely look up vids from him himself, in stead of my inferior covers!

May God bless you richly! Feel free to ask any questions, if personal via private messages.

Praise God!

NB The spoken words at the very beginning of the clip were inspired by Keith Green's Christmas talk. The one he did along with this Christmas song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9oJKhSqikQ

Lyrics:
Dit is waar Pasen echt om draait
(This is what Easter is really about)
Niet de paashaas
(Not the Easter bunny)
Want de paashaas
(For the Easter bunny)
Is niet voor uw zonden gestorven!
(Did not die for your sins!)

Hear the bells ringing, they're singing that you can be born again
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing, Christ is risen from the dead
The angel upon the tombstone said: "He has risen, just as He said
Quickly now, go tell His disciples, that Jesus Christ is no longer dead"

Joy to the world, He has risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah

Hear the bells ringing, they're singing that you can be healed right now
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing "Christ He will reveal it now"
The angels, they all surround us, and they are minist'ring Jesus' power
Quickly now, reach out and receive it, for this could be your glorious hour!

Joy to the world, He has risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
HalleluJah

Probeer maar mee te zingen
(You may try to sing along)

The angel upon the tombstone said: "He has risen, just as He said
Quickly now, go tell His disciples, that Jesus Christ is no longer dead"

Joy to the world, He has risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah

Ik word er stil van, als ik...
(It quietens me, when I...)
Als ik bedenk, wat we net zongen
(When I realize what we just sang)
Dit is niet... Deze vreugde is niet alleen van vandaag ofzo
(This isn't....This joy isn't just for today or something)
Deze vreugde is niet eens van ons hele leven
(This joy isn't even for our whole lives)
Het is van de eeuwigheid
(It's for forever)
De eeuwigheid, mensen!
(Eternity, folks!)
Zo diep kun je niet eens dénken!
(You can't even THINK that deep!)
Probeer maar mee te zingen
(Try to sing it along)

Joy to the world, He has risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
He's risen, HalleluJah
Halle-
luJah

this sounds really really hasty! awesome track by the brother Keith tho :)

[Sumeoon]

@rvangrondelle Haha I just played the tempo my sheet music said (152bpm), but you're right, just listened precisely to Keith's version, he plays it just a little bit slower at about 145-150. Haha you've got good ears ^^

[cameraman5449]

Very good performance!!! But more importantly I can see your heart is in it; keep praising God!

[rvangrondelle]

@Sumeoon wow 152 bpm... i wonder who came up with that idea :-) keep up the good work btw ;) Godbless!

[TheAdamClark]
