Lyrics

On the Third Day Copyright 2015
Written by MIchael Flanigan and Ken Matthiesen

On the third day, let His steps lead you outside
Leaving sorrows behind; time to come back to life
You been down so long, but it can't be too late
To go out and weed your garden, on the third day

(Chorus)
I know your soul is weary it's been hung out to dry
There are stones you still can bleed and tears you need to cry
Oh, but listen now Today..is the third day

On the third day, you may sing out in song
If you find in your heart, where your true love belongs
Turn your world around, like the old prophets say
And make a beautiful sound, on the third day

(Chorus)
I know your soul is weary it's been hung out to dry
There are stones you still can bleed and tears you need to cry
Oh, but listen now Today..is the third day

On the third day, pass by that old wishing well
The path we take to Heaven is the one out of Hell
New stars in your sky, will show you the way
For the rest of your life, on the third day

(final Chorus)
I know your soul is weary it's been hung out to dry
There are stones you still can bleed and tears you need to cry
Oh, but listen now, listen now Today...is the third day
For the rest of your life...it's the third day
Be so surprised....on the third day

Beautiful lead vocals, I like the sound of the piano as well - sounds a bit like Leann Womack. I really like the message too.
