From the creative mind of Kirk Franklin and the choral ingenuity of Richard Smallwood comes an awesome Easter Gospel song for choir (no soloists) called "Don't Cry." It is easy to learn because it starts with its thematic melody and slowly build tertian and other easy harmonies. The chord progressions and verse/chorus order can also be learned by the worship team without difficulty.
"Don't Cry" is a ballad that starts off quietly and builds up to a big finish. In one of my previous churches, we used it to open an Easter Sunday service, and it was very well received. Here is the video and the lyrics are below:
Why do you cry
He has risen
Why are you weeping
He's not dead
He paid it all on that lonely highway
(Hey) and His anointing I can feel
He shed His blood, oh
For my transgressions, oh
And by His stripes
We are healed
So as you go through life's journey
Don't you worry, lift up your head
Don't you cry, no
Stop your weeping, oh
He has risen
He's not dead
Don't cry, wipe your eyes
He's not dead
Oh, don't weep
He's not asleep
Jehovah, He's not dead, oh
Don't cry, wipe your eyes
He's not dead, oh
He's not dead
