ON THE THIRD DAY song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the cross was carried up Golgotha
and there His body nailed
the Romans mocked the Pharisees laughed
to see how the King of the Jews had failed

two thieves were also crucifed
one on the left one on the right
and one called out upon the crowd
and said this isn't right

the other said if thou be Christ
save thyself and us
the other then he answered him
our verdict has been just

we are criminals we have earned
the fate that we have squandered here
but this man is innocent
by all the laws that you hold dear

and then he said unto the Lord
remember me when Thou hast come
into the Kingdom thou hast promised
when my life is done

and as the thief gave it up
Jesus opened up His eyes
said verily I say to thee
today thou shalt be with me
in paradise

and then a darkness over earth
descended until hour nine
the veil of the Temple rent
only one of many signs

and Jesus He said Father
into Thy hands I commend My spirit
and there were many in the throng
who stood in silence as they hear it

the centurion said certainly this was a righteous man
they took His body down
wrapped Him in a linen shroud
and laid Him in a tomb

then on the third day the two Marys
came to service and to pray
but to their astonishment
the mighty rock was rolled away

and inside there was no corpse
but two were dressed in dazzling light
one said Why seek the living among the dead?
The Son of Man they saw arise

Jesus died on the cross
not by the sword or by the rope
and on the third day he rose again
on the third day he rose again
on the third day he rose again
and so our lives are made of love
made of love
made of love
so our lives are made love
made of love
and hope
