Am The Old King’s time is done, G E We feel the rising of the sun, Am C Now it is the day, Am of his demise, C Am We will raise him on a tree, G E7 For all the world to see, Am E But we know that on the third day, Am He will rise, G Am He will rise, He will rise, E Yes we know that on the third day, Am He will rise, There is power in the grain, In the blood and in the name, It’s written in the great vault of the skies That the lifeblood must flow free, To save both you and me, But we know that on the third day, He will rise, Just as Isaac took his son, When he knew what must be done, Paid no attention to his Frightened cries, For the god demands a life, For he is a god of strife, But we know that on the third day, He will rise, Bring the body to the ground, With a quiet mournful sound, Shed a tear over the hollow where it lies, But the soul will spring anew, Just as seed to flowers do, And we know that on the third day He will rise,
