“Let’s Celebrate (He Is Risen)”
Reverend Timothy Wright
From the AIR Records CD Live: Vol. III (2005)
(also included on The Godfather of Gospel, in stores May 5)

Reverend Timothy Wright continues to heal from the horrific automobile accident that took the lives of his wife and grandson last July, and left him physically and emotionally wounded.

Just a few years ago, in better times, Rev. Wright recorded “Let’s Celebrate (He Is Risen)” as a modern day anthem for Easter/Resurrection Sunday. Malaco Records will re-release this cut as part of an eighteen-track collection of Rev. Wright’s recordings. Titled The Godfather of Gospel, the collection will be in stores May 5, 2009.

May this song today, Easter Sunday, not only praise the risen Lord, but also serve as a prayer of anticipation for the celebration when Rev. Wright rises from the grip of pain and affliction and reclaims his earthly life and happiness.
