Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, the leadership of Blessed Singers explains that the track is rooted in the events of Matthew 28:11-15, where the guards were bribed to spread the rumor that the disciples had stolen Jesus' body. The song, titled "Say They Have Stolen Him," uses this irony to highlight the undeniable reality of the empty tomb. “We wanted to address the doubts and the 'fake news' of that time with the truth of the Resurrection,” the group shared. “They can say He was stolen, but the power of His life in us proves He is risen!”
Now available on all major music streaming platforms, the song has resonated as a bold declaration for the Easter season and beyond. Recorded with the signature vocal agility and the rich, storytelling choral arrangements that Blessed Singers are increasingly known for, “Semeni Wamemuiba” reflects a moment of spiritual defiance against death and falsehood, encouraging listeners to stand firm in the historical truth of Christ's victory.
Blessed Singers are recognized for their ability to bring a fresh, contemporary energy to traditional choral themes. Their ministry flows from a desire to make the scriptures come alive through song, using harmony to paint the scenes of the Bible. Through this release, they continue to establish themselves as a "voice of truth," focusing on the transformative power of the living Christ who cannot be contained by a grave or silenced by a rumor.
Through “Semeni Wamemuiba,” the group seeks to ignite a spirit of certainty and joy. The song points every listener back to the truth that our faith is not based on a myth, but on the living Savior who conquered the grave once and for all.
The release is accompanied by an engaging and expressive music video that brings the narrative of the Resurrection morning to life, available now on YouTube.
