On The Third Day

  E                           C#m
Creation brings an offering
                     B                    A
As autumn leaves turn to gold
                           E                       C#m
The trees bow down in highest praise
            B                                   A
Now make bare before your throne
                      E                          A
The western skies and amber plains
               B            A
At the end of the day
                 E                B                    E
For everything must die and rise again

Verse 2
                        E                  C#m
The winter's chill, a bitter cold
                      B                        A
As sin and shame leave us to fall
                            E                        C#m
The clouds so full a new born snow
                        B                        A
For grace to come and save us all
                     E                         A
Within the darkest night of man
                              B            A
Has found You're saving hand
              E                    B                E
For everything must die and rise again


Chorus
              B      A      E            B
On the third day behold the King
               B    A          C#m          B
On the third day death has no sting
               B     A                 F#m            B         E
On the third day we're forgiven and reconciled


Verse 3
                      E                        C#m
The earth it groans in labor pains
                   B                       A
Flowers stretch to heaven above
                            E                  C#m
Your creatures sing a prophet song
                B                   A
To be a gift of selfless love
                     E                 A
The sun is rising in the east
                   B                  A
And your spirit is unleashed
             E                    B                E
For everything must die to rise again

Verse 3
                     E                    C#m
And so we wait in joyful hope                               (Piano solo)
                     B                          A
For You to come and take us home
                    E                          C#m
And so we join beneath the cross
                    B                             A
And suffering from whence we go
                       E                          A
The greatest act of sovereign grace
               B               A
In the universe displayed                       (intro electric   --- slow build)
              E                  B                E
For everything must die to rise again (climb up on again)

Chorus
             B      A      E            B
On the third day behold the King
               B    A          C#m          B
On the third day death has no sting
               B     A                 F#m            B         E
On the third day we're forgiven and reconciled
               B      A          E         B
On the third day the saints rejoice
               B     A       C#m      B
On the third day we lift our voice
                B     A            F#m             B      E
(E (high)„³E (low))
On the third day we're united and glorified (x2)
