Christ was delivered for our offences by Charles Harford Lloyd — Lyrics
[Christ] was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
If we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Alleluia!

About Christ was delivered for our offences
Charles Harford Lloyd's anthem, Christ was delivered for our offences, is a powerful setting of a well-known passage from Romans chapter 4, concerning Christ's resurrection and its significance for believers. The text emphasizes victory over death and the promise of eternal life, culminating in the joyous "Alleluia!" and a triumphant "Thanks be to God." Composed for SATB choir, this piece also offers the option of a solo for either soprano or tenor voice, allowing for moments of intimate reflection within the broader choral texture. It is a fitting choice for services and concerts focusing on the Easter message or the theological implications of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection.
