Luke 9:22

Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

The sky was black as midnight in the middle of that day 

They laid our Lord and Savior in the grave 

On that first day they walked away and thought all hope was gone 

What would life be like from that day on 

On the second day abandoned, lost and all alone 

They wandered like a child without a home 

But thanks to God our Father the stone was rolled away 

He gave us life beyond that second day 

Chorus 

From the third day on Christ is risen 

From the third day on hope is alive 

From the third day on we are forgiven 

Make sure you're livin' from the third day on 

Are you living your life in that first or second day 

Are you holding on to things that fade away 

Just put your faith in Jesus. He's God's eternal Son 

And live your life from the third day on 

Chorus 

Bridge 

The first day brought us darkness, the second doubt and strife, 

The third day brought the good news of a risen Christ
