Top 10 Inspirational Easter Songs of All Time

Though there’s still plenty to enjoy about the Easter bunny and those baskets overflowing with chocolate characters or multi-colored jellybeans, sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the symbols of spring rather than the real reason for celebration. Like Christmas, Easter’s true meaning does indeed get overlooked from the store aisles to some school systems and the work place, but when it’s all said and done, there’s no denying the day signifies the triumph of the risen Christ. With that victorious spirit in mind, here’s a look at “10 Top Inspirational Easter Songs” from the not too distant past through present day, as performed by several groundbreaking Christian artists (listed alphabetically) who’ve managed to perfectly summarize the holiday’s essence in a matter of minutes.

1. Carman’s “The Champion”

The Christian artist with the highest concert attendance in history continues to be known for his storytelling songs, accompanied by the theatrical depiction of several characters. Out of his 10 million album selling-plus catalogue, “The Champion” is amongst his most famous expressions as it dramatically chronicles Christ’s death on the cross, the enemy’s temporary satisfaction, followed by the thundering announcement of His glorious resurrection. “He has won, He has won/ He’s alive forever more/ He is risen, He is Lord.”

14 Ways to Speed up Your iPhone - How to Speed up iPhones

All computing devices are prone to slowing down over time, as their memory fills up and extra software is installed, but the way iPhones use their memory makes them less prone to this than most.

It's possible that it just feels slower than it used to, because you've got used to what initially seemed dazzlingly quick operation, or have started to compare it to friends' newer, faster models.

But sometimes it's possible to make a direct comparison: when there's an app you used to enjoy but has since become unusably juddery. Such a situation is what led us to write this feature. The wonderful, super-fast game Super Hexagon demands lightning reflexes to survive, but the stuttering graphics on our iPhone 4 now make it impossible to play. We've also been seeing problems with the iPhone 4 handling Temple Run 2.

Here are some great methods to speed up an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S or even iPhone 5, iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s, if you're not happy with the way it's running.

How to save and restore iPhone and iPad game progress data

Games for your iPhone and iPad can be pretty hefty. By the time a media-rich title’s done expanding after download, it can easily munch 1 GB or more of your storage space. Buy enough games and sooner or later your iOS device will be full — and because you can’t expand its storage, you’ll have to delete something to add anything new.

An added complication on iOS comes from the system deleting an app’s settings and data when the app itself is removed. This means if you’ve spent many months working your way through a game and you delete it, your progress will vanish in an instant. This tutorial provides methods for stopping that happening in the vast majority of cases.
