The Third Day

THE THIRD DAY

 

The first day passed and the tears they fell,

The second day also, all still was not well,

The third day came, the sun rose in the sky,

And in truth it was hard to believe the eye.

 

If God only gave, but one second chance,

Then where would have been, our Lord of the dance,

It wasn’t day two that the stone rolled away,

No, Christ didn’t rise until the third day!

 

And sometimes we think, we have run out of hope,

That not one more day, could we bear to cope;

But God knows the timing, for us He has planned,

And nothing can happen, without His command.

 

He’ll stretch us, and grow us, till we think we’ll break,

But He knows our spirits, this stronger will make,

And He’ll not allow us, more than we can bear,

And all through our trials, our burdens He’ll share.

 

If you feel in your life, that no joy you can see,

Then ask God to show you, where is your day three,

To show you the plan for you, He has in store,

To rescue and heal you, and bless your life more.

 

Just trust in His loving, that never will fail,

Close the ears of your mind, to the doubts that assail,

Speak out the Words, of His Power and Love,

Hold fast to the promise, of our Father above.

 

His plans will not harm us, nor bring us undone,

He loved us so much, that He sent us His Son,

He’ll lead us, and guide us, and set our hearts free,

The new birth He offers, is to each, our day three.

 

When we accept Jesus, our spirit’s reborn,

He opened the way, when the curtain was torn,

And just as He rose from the dead and from hell,

Our spirit’s re-born, from its death as well.
