The Third Day

YOU CAME TO SAVE THE WORLD
To redeem creation
Faced up to the cross
Carried every sin on Your shoulders
The crowd they didn't know
On the cross You conquered
As You breathed Your last
You knew that ‘it was finished', but not over

For three days, You laid in that grave
But death was swallowed up in victory

For You arose on the third day
Hallelujah we cry, Your life is our life
Yes You arose on the third day
We are fully alive, in the power of Your life
You're alive

Just as You arose
Bursting out in power
We are raised to life
Reigning with You now and forever
Just as You returned
To the Father's glory
I've been made His child
Living to enjoy You forever

You overcame
You overcame at the cross
You rose again
You rose again, raising us
