My first thoughts:

"Behold the Lamb of God" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OB9HV2?ie=UTF8&tag=gospel-choir-music-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001OB9HV2) by the Indiana State Mass Choir has an easy chorus that I think would sound fine in unison.  The vamp has three separate parts, but since each section is singing a whole different line, it's easier for them to all keep to their parts.

I think I'm A Newborn Soul (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001382F2O?ie=UTF8&tag=gospel-choir-music-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001382F2O) would sound good in unison.  I don't know if others would agree.

You could also consider doing a hymn.  There are lots of good ones for Easter.  "He Lives", "The Old Rugged Cross", "Were You There", and plenty more.

How about some of the classics? You can find them on Youtube:
"No Greater Love" - GMWA
"He Got Up" - Hawkins Music and Arts Seminar
"Jesus Is Alive" - Ron Kenoly

Like that snippet of "Behold the Lamb of God". Good slower song.

For a faster song - our choir is doing "Oh, what He's Done for Me" (Reed's Temple Choir). Can be done two-part...

Jesus Reigns by Youthful Praise

That's my FAVVVVVORITE!!!!!

I also like "Jesus Rose" by Milton Brunson & The Tommies (classic Resurrection song).

BTW, you should check out the "Song Ideas" board at the top of the Lounge. I'm positive there is a thread full of Resurrection songs over there...

"No Greater Love" - GMWA

Wonderful song, but I would miss the harmonies SO much . . .

I am thinking about teaching my church choir the song entitled, Jesus by Shekinah Glory!
