New Contemporary Christian artist Andy Cherry is making quite an impact with his debut Christian AC single, “Our God’s Alive.” In its ninth week on the Billboard Christian Songs chart, the track is now at #25, no small feat for a debuting Christian artist. Listening to Our God’s Alive, I can see why people are finding the taste of Cherry quite a pleasant one (see what I did there?): his strong and masculine voice is the perfect underscore to the message of power and strength that comes across in Our God’s Alive. Coupled with its nontraditional beat, easy-to-recall chorus, and admittedly catchy bridge, Our God’s Alive is unlike 99.9% of what’s out there on Christian radio. It’s a breath of fresh air, and I’m sure many, many more people won’t mind having a little Cherry on their radios as well.
OUR GOD’S ALIVE Lyrics
Andy Cherry
Come on everyone
See what He has done
He has lifted arms
He has overcome
The power of the grave
And the sin that once enslaved
Couldn’t hold Him in the ground
Couldn’t keep Him down
Rise with a shout
Cry out, “Our God’s alive”
Rise Holy fire, burn bright, burn bright
Rise with the shout
Cry out for freedom
Rise, Church, oh, rise
Our God’s alive
Remain on His throne
Drawing ever close
Giving us this hope
He’ll never let us go
Death has been defeated
Jesus Christ redeemer
Conquered Hell and freed us
Forever we are saved
Rise with a shout
Cry out, “Our God’s alive”
Rise Holy fire, burn bright, burn bright
Rise with the shout
Cry out for freedom
Rise, Church, oh, rise
Our God’s alive
He alone can save us
He will not forsake us
He remains forever our Savior
See Him reign in power
Stronger than our failures
Always and forever
Our Savior
Rise with a shout
Cry out, “Our God’s alive”
Rise Holy fire, burn bright, burn bright
Rise with the shout
Cry out for freedom
Rise, Church, oh, rise
Our God’s alive
Rise with a shout
Cry out, “Our God’s alive”
Rise Holy fire, burn bright, burn bright
Rise with the shout
Cry out for freedom
Rise, Church, oh, rise
Our God’s alive
