Daniel Crabtree drops a new gospel single, "He is Risen from the Dead." This will be in anticipation of his next CD release expected this Summer 2020. The singer-songwriter is dropping the song so radio stations can play the track as the community prepares to honor Jesus Christ’s resurrection in April.
Daniel Crabtree is an emerging bluegrass gospel singer and songwriter. His love of music was sparked at a young age when he first picked up his father's guitar. Since then, he has kept his passion for music alive through his bluegrass gospel group, The Lights Chapel Boys.
Songwriting came later in life, but when it did, it arrived in full force. Before he knew it, an entire self-written album had emerged, The Gospel Road. Follow-up projects include a second gospel record, In the Shadow of His Wings, and a secular bluegrass album titled The Storyteller in Me.
Daniel Crabtree also celebrates a recent release by award-winning bluegrass artist, Larry Sparks of Daniel’s song "Take Me Back to Virginia." The singles most well-received from Daniel Crabtree’s latest album were "Piedmont

Lyrics
Written by Daniel Crabtree
Jesus was betrayed by a kiss, Judas sold Him for silver on that day
They said, who does He think He is and soldiers led Him away
Pilot was afraid to sentence Him, found no fault with what this man had done
But that angry crowd of sinful men, said crucify Him, He is not Gods son
They nailed His feet and hands to a cross as He took on every sin of man
As his life poured out for the lost, darkness spread over barren land
People all around shook with fear, they heard Why hast thou forsaken me
My God, My God, through His tears, he cried Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani
Placed in a tomb carved out of stone, wrapped in fine linen and laid down
Sealed, they left Him there alone, three days He was bound on sacred ground
When the women came to mourn Him, He was gone, that awful rock was rolled away instead
And an Angel of the Lord said that new dawn, He’s not here, He is risen from the dead
Daniel Crabtree
