Something changes on Easter morning. The silence breaks, the grief loosens its grip, and joy comes rushing in like sunlight over the hills of Narnia. After the long winter of Lent, Easter Sunday in Narnia is a playlist that doesn’t ease in. It bursts open with life, victory, and wonder. This is the moment when the Stone Table cracks and everything is different.
Like the Lent playlist, this is another collaboration between Jonathon and me. I pulled the songs together, and Jonathon helped reorder everything so it actually flows like a journey. It’s not just a collection of tracks; it builds toward something.
The Sound of Resurrection
If Lent in Narnia walks slowly through sorrow, this playlist runs. Right from the start, you can feel it waking up. There’s movement, there’s lift, something is pushing forward. You get sweeping instrumentals, big cinematic moments, and worship songs that just go for it. Tracks like “Portals” and “The Lighting of the Beacons” sit right alongside “Christ Is Risen Today” and “O Praise the Name.” It’s not quiet anymore. It’s alive. And that’s what Easter feels like in Narnia. Not just relief, but release.
Aslan Is on the Move
In Narnia, resurrection isn’t subtle. It shakes everything. The Stone Table doesn’t get patched up, it breaks. Death doesn’t get managed; it gets undone. And Aslan doesn’t come back quietly. You can hear that energy all over this playlist. “Jupiter,” “Symphony No. 7,” and “This Land” all feel like something opening up. Like statues coming back to life. Like winter finally losing its grip. Everything is waking up.
Joy That Can’t Be Contained
But Easter isn’t just powerful. It’s joyful, and not the quiet kind. One of my favorite things about that moment in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is that Aslan doesn’t come back serious and intense. He comes back full of life. He runs. He laughs. He lets Lucy and Susan climb on his back and just go. That’s the kind of energy this playlist leans into. Songs like “Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me),” “King of Kings,” and “How Great Is Our God” don’t just explain what happened; they celebrate it. You can almost picture the Pevensies running through green fields again, everything finally thawed out. This is joy that doesn’t stay contained.
A New Beginning
Easter in Narnia isn’t just about fixing what was broken. It’s about starting something new. Lewis talks about the Deeper Magic, the kind that goes back before everything, where death itself starts working backward. That idea really sits at the heart of this playlist. Songs like “Only the Beginning of the Adventure” land right where they should. Because that’s the thing. This isn’t the end of the story. It’s where it really begins.
How to Listen
This one’s different from the Lent playlist. That one was quieter and more reflective. This one is meant to be felt. Play it on a drive in the morning, let it fill the house on Easter Sunday, share it with your family, or just turn it up and let it go.
The Long Winter Is Over
Easter in Narnia reminds us of something simple, but easy to forget. Winter does not win. The Stone Table is not the end. Death is not the end. Silence is not the end. There’s a deeper magic at work, and when it breaks through, everything changes. That’s what this playlist is trying to capture. Not just the moment itself, but what comes after it. The life, the movement, the joy. So step into the sunlight. Aslan is on the move.
