Michael Anthony Milton's latest track, "Christ is Risen," is a beautiful modern hymn. It further combines the melodies and warmth of vintage folk with the pillars of timeless power found through faith. Evoking the vibe of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the storytelling deftness of James Taylor, Milton constructs a song that works as both a homecoming and a mission.
"Christ is Risen" is a heavy, excellent, popular telling of the Christian resurrection story. Its rough, acoustic richness evokes a campfire gathering as much as a church pew. The song's textures are gentle guitars, soothing harmonies, and lyrical clarity, evoking classical singer-songwriter-era music when every word was meant to be heard and every note meant something.
Taking the place of the ancient Memorial Acclamation, "Christ has died," "Christ is Risen," and "Christ will come again." is more than a spiritual refrain but a declaration, a plea of hope, rich in melodic strength. It's the sort of hook that nests in your heart, not your head, the kind you catch yourself humming in the stillness of your day.
Milton's voice bears the sincerity of someone who's traversed the valleys and seen the mountaintop. Behind the delivery is a storyteller's soul: Each verse tracks the legacy of Christian missions and looks ahead to the promise of the Great Commission's fulfillment. Whether you're a longtime believer or simply someone who enjoys well-crafted, purpose-driven music, there's something here to stir the spirit.
"Christ is Risen" is faith-based, but it should resonate with folk fans who appreciate authenticity and passionate lyrics. It's the sort of song that could carve out a home in sacred and acoustic playlists. With its optimistic tone and singable chorus, it's not hard to imagine churches, house concerts, or Sunday morning coffee playlists adopting it.
With Milton and his team eyeing streaming platforms, label interest, and a possible cover by another artist, there's a quiet confidence in the song's revolution. In a world that often seems uncertain, polished and jaded, or rushed and profane, this song feels like it's taking a moment to breathe a subtle reminder that someone is still singing hope, and sometimes, that is a guitar, a voice, and a message we're all due to hear again.
