Song Lyrics

"On the Third Day"

by Michael Olson
Album: Where fear and faith collide

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 skies and amber plains
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 too full
The clouds now full
Of new born 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

Chorus:
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

CHORUS

And so we wait in joyful hope
For You to come
And take us home
And so we join beneath the cross
As suffering from whence we go
The greatest act of sovereign grace
In the universe display
For everything must die to rise again

CHORUS

On the third day
The saints rejoice
On the third day
We lift our voice
On the third day
We're united and glorified
