Jesus is Life - Landry

This is a praise-song for Easter.

The song was written by American musician and at-the-time Roman Catholic priest Carey Landry. It was included in Landry's recording, Abba Father.

An MP3 file is still available for purchase from OCP.

Sheet music may be available in this songbook available from SheetMusicPlus - it's not 100% clear if it is contains all titles from the recording - but music books from the era usually did.

Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website.  A rough outline is:
Let the trumpets blast, let the cymbals crash, let the dancing begin ...

Praise Him with blasts of the trumpet. ... Jesus is life!

Praise Him with clashing cymbals,  ....Jesus is Life!

(Refrain)
Orchards and forests, mountains and hills,
Birds and living creatures, dance in praise of His name!

Praise Him with clashing cymbals, ...Jesus is Life!

Old men, and children too. ... Jesus is Life!

Everlasting Life!

KEEP IN CASE ORIGINAL IS REMOVED, BUT DO NOT DISPLAY
Let the trumpets blast, let the cymbals crash, let the dancing begin! Let everything that breathes proclaim: Jesus is Life! Jesus is life! Praise Him with blasts of the trumpet. Praise Him with lyre and harp. Praise Him with drums and dancing, Jesus is life! Jesus is life! Praise Him with clashing cymbals, Praise Him with strings and reeds. Praise Him with clanging cymbals, Jesus is Life! Jesus is Life! Orchards and forests, mountains and hills, Birds and living creatures, dance in praise of His name! Praise Him with clashing cymbals, Praise Him with strings and reeds. Praise Him with clanging cymbals, Jesus is Life! Jesus is Life! Old men, and children too. Young men and girls! Men and women everywhere dance in praise of His name! Jesus is Life! Jesus is Life! Everlasting Life!
