Seven-time Grammy winner Kirk Franklin (b. 1970) is an American gospel musician, choir director, and author, known for leading urban contemporary gospel choirs. His music is synonymous with the heart of worship. "Don't Cry" is a powerful Easter song that starts with a simple melody and slowly builds harmony and dynamics. Authentically set by our friend Joel Raney, this powerful resurrection song maintains its soulful gospel style with the buildup from beginning to end, and it is sure to enrapture all in the message "Don't cry, wipe your eyes, he is not dead!"
REFRAIN: Why do you cry? He has risen!
Why are you weeping? He’s not dead.
He paid it all on that lonesome highway,
And his anointing, I can feel.
He shed his blood for my transgressions,
And by his stripes, we are healed. REFRAIN
So as you go through life’s journey, lift up your head!
Don’t you cry, stop your weeping.
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.
Don’t cry, wipe your eyes. He’s not dead.
