On the third day · letra

Creation brings an offering As autumn leaves turn to gold The trees bow down in highest praise Now made bare before Your throne
The western sky an amber blaze At the end of the day For everything must die to rise again
The winter?s chill, a bitter cold As sin and shame leave us to fall The clouds now full of newborn snow For grace to come and save us all
Within the darkest night of man Was found Your saving hand For everything must die to rise again On the third day behold the King On the third day death has no sting On the third day we?re forgiven and reconciled
The earth it groans in labor pains As flowers stretch to heaven above Your creatures sing the prophet?s song To be a gift of selfless love
The sun is rising in the east And Your Spirit is unleashed For everything must die to rise again
On the third day behold the King On the third day death has no sting On the third day we?re forgiven and reconciled
And so we wait in joyful hope For You to come and take us home And so we join beneath the cross In suffering from whence we go
The greatest act of sovereign grace In the universe displayed For everything must die to rise again On the third day behold the King On the third day death has no sting On the third day we?re forgiven and reconciled
On the third day the saints rejoice On the third day we lift our voice On the third day we're united and glorified
And everything must die to rise again
