Capo 2

Verse 1

 Creation C brings  an  offerF/A ing
 as  autumn G leaves  turn  to F gold
 The  trees  bow C down  in  highest F/A praise,
 Now  made G bare  before  your F throne
 The  western C/E sky   an  amber F blaze
 At  the G end  of  the F day,
 For C everything  must G die  to  rise  agF ainC .

Verse 2

 The  winter's C chill  a  bitter F/A cold,
 As  sin  and G shame  leave  us  to F fall
 The  clouds  now C full  of  newborn F/A snow,
 for  grace  to G come  and  save  us F all
 Within  the C/E darkest  night  of F man
 Was  found  Your G saving F hand,
 For C everything  must G die  to  rise  agF ainC .

Chorus

 On  the F third  day,  behC old  the G King
 On  the F third  day,  death Am has  no G sting,
 On  the F third  day,  we're  forgAm iven  and G reconcC iled.

Verse 3

 The  earth  it C groans  in  labor F/A pains,
 as  flowers G stretch  to  heaven  abF ove,
 Your  creatures C sing  the  prophet's F/A song
 To  be  a G gift  of  selfless F love.
 The  sun  is C/E rising  in  the F east,
 And  your G spirit  is  unF leashed,
 For C everything  must G die  to  rise  agF ainC .

Verse 4

 And  so  we C wait  in  joyful F/A hope,
 for  You  to G come  and  take  us F home,
 And  so  we C join  beneath  the F/A cross,
 In  sufferG ing  from  whence  we F go.
 The  greatest C/E act  of  sov'reign F grace
 in  the G universe  dispF layed,
 For C everything  must G die  to  rise  agF ainC .

Chorus 2

 On  the F third  day,  the C saints  rejG oice,
 On  the F third  day,  we Am lift  our G voice,
 On  the F third  day,  we're Am united  and G glorifC ied.
