THREE DAYS

THEY SAID HIS NAME WAS JESUS.
SOME CALLED HIM MARY'S SON.
HIS MOTHER'S HEART WAS BROKEN
WHEN SHE KNEW THE HOUR HAD COME.

THEY CALL IT EASTER MORNING
WHEN MY LORD ROSE FROM THE DEAD,
BUT CALL IT GRACE AND MERCY
WHEN HE DIED THERE IN OUR STEAD.

THE SCRIPTURES WERE FULFILLING
ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT KNOW.
HE LAID HIS LIFE DOWN WILLING
TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

THEY CRUCIFIED MY SAVIOR.
THEY LAID HIM IN THAT GRAVE.
THEY THOUGHT HIS LIFE WAS OVER
BUT HE ROSE IN JUST THREE DAYS!
