From baskets overflowing with colorful candies to celebratory church services to epic egg hunts, Easter is a time full of spiritual, meaningful and fun traditions.

But unlike festive Christmas classics, romantic Valentine’s Day hits and haunting Halloween tunes, this holy holiday isn’t necessarily known for its music. And while there may not be dedicated radio stations to turn to, there are still plenty of popular worship, gospel and secular songs to celebrate one of the most important days on the Christian calendar.

Whether you’re on your way to Sunday service or dyeing Easter eggs, we’ve compiled a variety of Easter songs to add to your holiday playlist. With traditional hymns like Charles Wesley’s “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today,” gospel favorites like C. Austin Miles’ “In the Garden” and contemporary offerings like Carrie Underwood's "Because He Lives," there are endless Easter offerings to listen to all Sunday long. And while a lot of these songs touch on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ — ya know, the meaning of Easter and all — we made sure to include a few fun ones for the kids in your crew.

So, let's hop to it! Keep reading to find 20 songs that are bound to make your Easter Sunday egg-stra special.
