The Third Day Rising

Verse 1

I remember them talking

'Bout the day that He was born

A baby in a manger

With a star above

Verse 2

The shepherd and the angel

They gathered all around

And the wise men all came running

With their gold and gifts of love

Verse 3

They say He walked the desert

He healed the blind and lame

He spoke up for the poor and the forgotten

And the rich, they cursed His name

Verse 4

Then they came with swords and hatred

They dragged Him through the street

They beat Him and they spit on Him

And they spit upon His feet

Verse 5

They stripped Him of His garments

They beat Him naked there

They thrust upon His head the crown of thorns

And they mocked Him with His hair

Verse 6

They drove large iron nails

Into His hands and feet

As He looked up to His Father

He suffered in the heat

Verse 7

As the sun was fading to darkness

He hung upon that cross

With His last breath, He forgave them all

And the world, it wept the loss

Verse 8

They took Him from His body

They laid Him in the tomb

But on the third day, He was risen

To a great triumphal tune

Chorus

Hey, hey, hey

The Passion of Christ

Hey, hey, hey

The Passion of Christ

Hey, hey, hey

The Passion of Christ

Hey, hey, hey

The Passion of Christ
