Paradise was lost long ago
From the moment the first lie was sold
And what started as the perfect plan
Was soon ended by a woman and man
It was ended by a woman and man
But then suddenly, the course of history
Changed forever through the birth of a child
And what was once a curse, now had been reversed
Through a life that was born to die
And the world will never be the same…On the third day
For the lost was made a way…On the third day
The captives no longer in chains…On the third day
And now the Light forever reigns
Innocence was lost long ago
From the moment the flesh was exposed
And the eyes that once saw only the heart
Now were blinded by the external parts
They were blinded by the external parts
But then suddenly, what was true beauty
Was seen clearly through the sight of a man
And all the guilt and shame, now had been replaced
By a love none could understand
And the world will never be the same…On the third day
For the lost was made a way…On the third day
The captives no longer in chains…On the third day
And now the Light forever reigns
And then all at once, my debts forgiven
In exchange for a sacrifice
And what was lost before, now had been restored
Through a life that was born to die
And the world will never be the same…On the third day
For the lost was made a way…On the third day
The captives no longer in chains…On the third day
And now the Light forever reigns
On the third day yeah
On the third day yeah
On the third day yeah, oh yeah
I will rise up, I will rise up, I will rise up and live
I will rise up, I will rise up, I will rise up and live, oh yeah
