Hillsong Singer Says 'O Praise

the Name' Brought a New

Revelation of EASTER. 

Hillsong singer David Ware

has shed new light on the

song “O Praise the Name” in

a video posted to the band’s

website.

Ware said that songwriter Marty Sampson told him to

sing the line “I cast my mind to Calvary,” as if Jesus

was in front of him. This helped him reflect on the

meaning of Easter and changed the way he thought

about Jesus’ resurrection.

Ware said, “As I began to envision the hill of Calvary, I

imagined what it would have been like to actually be

there on that day, looking up at my Saviour hanging on

that tree, the Messiah, full of love for me, as He

breathed His last.”

The singer hopes that listeners will hear the song in the

same way and take time to reflect on Jesus’ death and

resurrection.

Ware also said that Easter is a special time of year

because Christians and non-Christians focus on Jesus,

discussing "who He was or wasn't, what He did or

didn't do, the life He lived, His death, His resurrection

and all that happened after.”
