Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:1.Three days our world was broken; the Lord of life lay dead.
... Three days we clung together where he had washed our feet.
2.Three days-and on the third day, the women came at dawn ...
3.Three days our world was broken and in an instant healed,
... Yet death has no dominion: the risen Christ is Lord!
