I would suggest singing the enthronement psalms!

“In the Tomb So Cold” by Graham Kendrick is another older, usable one.

“Alive Forever Amen” by Travis Cottrell, Sue Smith, and David Moffitt is another excellent one.

I don’t lead worship- but I always get that Easter victory message from Keith Greens “Easter Song.”
Hear the bells ringing, they’re singing
‘Christ is risen from the dead.’
GO QUICKLY NOW, TELL HIS DISCIPLES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS NO LONGER DEAD.
JOY TO THE WORLD, HE IS RISEN HALLELUJAH!

Bob - Do you Americans know “Now the Green Blade Rises”?

http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/n/g/ngbrises.htm

Now the green blade rises from the buried grain,
Wheat that in the dark earth many years has lain;
Love lives again, that with the dead has been:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

In the grave they laid Him, Love Whom we had slain,
Thinking that He’d never wake to life again,
Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

Up He sprang at Easter, like the risen grain,
He that for three days in the grave had lain;
Up from the dead my risen Lord is seen:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

When our hearts are saddened, grieving or in pain,
By Your touch You call us back to life again;
Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been:
Love is come again, like wheat that springs up green.

Our God Reigns - Leonard Smith
We are doing the “Out of the tomb” verse as well as using the chorus as an anthem

God So Loved - Hillsongs
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain/He is risen from the dead - He is risen!”

It’s not on the list but one of my favorites is Pat Sczebel’s “Jesus Thank You” from Worship God Live

I guess “He Lives” doesn’t rate a mention?
