If Jesus Died Today (A Modern Obituary) Lyric Video

What if the obituary of Jesus Christ was written today?

If Jesus Died Today (A Modern Obituary) is a hauntingly powerful spoken word and musical tribute that reimagines the life and death of Christ in the language of modern times. Through raw emotion and stirring imagery, the song reminds us of the sacrifice that changed history, and how easy it is for society to forget the heart of that story. It’s not just a reflection on loss, it’s a call to remember, to reflect, and to live with deeper purpose.

This track blends cinematic intensity with spiritual reverence, perfect for Easter, Good Friday services, or anytime we need to reconnect with the gravity of the cross.

Lyrics:

They say obituaries are for the dead.
But what if the one they buried… lives?
What if the grave was just the prelude,
And the story was far from over?
What if the obituary they wrote
Turned out to be the beginning of eternity?

Verse 1

He was born in a manger, unknown to kings
Son of a carpenter, yet Lord of all things
He healed the sick, He raised the dead
And still, they chose a crown of thorns instead

Betrayed by a friend, mocked and denied
Hung on a cross where the innocent died
But love never ends, and grace never fades
He shattered the silence, three days in the grave

Chorus

They wrote Him off, they rolled the stone
But Jesus wouldn’t stay alone
Death was defeated, the veil was torn
He walked out free no reason to mourn

This ain’t the end, it’s just the start
He lives forever in every heart
Call it an obituary, if you must
But my Jesus rose, and He still walks with us

Verse 2

No tomb could hold what Heaven had planned
He reached through time with nail-scarred hands
A Savior’s death, a rebel’s grace
The light of the world took death’s place

Bridge

If love had a headline, this would be it:
"Messiah Risen, Grace Fully Lit"
No longer a victim, no longer confined
He’s alive in your heart, in spirit and mind

Final Chorus

They wrote Him off, they sealed the grave
But Jesus lives, He came to save
This isn't death, it's victory's song
The King is alive, and He's been all along

So place your hope on Calvary’s tree
Because He died, for you and me
