"Death Was Arrested" is a compelling new anthem from North Point InsideOut that rejoices in the power of God's grace and the new life we have because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Brandon Coker, who co-wrote the song with Adam Kersh, Paul Taylor Smith, and Heath Balltzglier, writes, "We believe that Jesus was alive, that He hung and died on a cross, placed in a grave, and that three days later, He rose to life. And the second His eyes opened back up, the second that his heart began to beat again, and the second that air filled his lungs again, death was redefined for everyone that puts their faith in Him - forever."
"Death Was Arrested" opens with the testimony of Jesus freeing us from the chains of our sins and giving us new life. With heartfelt gratitude and worship, the song praises Him for this extraordinary gift, "Oh your grace so free washes over me. You have made me new. Now life begins with You. It's your endless love pouring down on us. You have made us new. Now life begins with you." It pulls back midway through to paint a solemn picture of Jesus on the cross, then explodes in a passionate cry of victory, "But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand. That's when death was arrested and my life began." The anthem maintains a joyful intensity to the end, closing with a proclamation that "We're free, free, Forever we're free! Come join the song of all the redeemed. Yes, we're free, free, forever amen! When death was arrested and my life began."
What an incredible reminder of the grace that Jesus has freely given to us all and of the life we now have in Him! It is available on iTunes so be sure to download your copy today.
