On the Third Day (Christian Worship)

[Verse 1] At the hill where mercy met the wood You bore the weight no heart ever could The sky grew still, the earth held its breath Love walked through the valley of death [Pre-Chorus] But the stone could not hold what heaven had spoken The seal could not silence the promise unbroken [Chorus] On the third day, the grave gave way Hope rose brighter than the dawn Death lost its claim, Jesus lives again Our broken hearts are reborn Hallelujah, our King has come Hallelujah, the night is gone On the third day, we found new life In the mercy of the Risen One [Verse 2] Now the scars are a banner of grace Every sinner can turn and see Your face From the ashes, a people arise With a living song and awakened eyes [Pre-Chorus] The stone could not hold what heaven had spoken The seal could not silence the promise unbroken [Chorus] On the third day, the grave gave way Hope rose brighter than the dawn Death lost its claim, Jesus lives again Our broken hearts are reborn Hallelujah, our King has come Hallelujah, the night is gone On the third day, we found new life In the mercy of the Risen One [Bridge] No chain, no sorrow, no power of sin Can stand before the life within All praise to Jesus, the Lamb who reigns Our God turns mourning into praise [Final Chorus] On the third day, the grave gave way Hope rose brighter than the dawn Death lost its claim, Jesus lives again Our broken hearts are reborn Hallelujah, our King has come Hallelujah, the night is gone On the third day, we found new life In the mercy of the Risen One [Outro] We rise in the life You gave We sing to the One who conquered the grave
