A baby in a manger, the town of Bethlehem,
the wise men had the heart to know
He was the great I am.
They crossed the desert many miles
to kneel down at his feet
The star that led them seemed to tell them
what had come to be
The Son's gonna rise and shine
Make the lame walk, the deaf talk,
and give sight back to the blind
Bring a light into the darkness,
that no one can deny
As sure as there's a heaven,
the Son's gonna rise and shine
At the age of thirty-three, the prophecy fulfilled
On the cross at calvary his blood for man was spilled
the sky was black as midnight,
but 'neath the dark and gloom
Voices rang and angels sang
dancing 'round the tomb
The Son's gonna rise and shine
He'll take away the keys of death,
the grave will lose it's bind
Hell will be defeated in three days of time
On resurrection morning,
the Son's gonna rise and shine
Instrumental:
It's been two-thousand years,
but the story's still the same
For those who will believe him
and call upon his name
The Son's gonna rise and shine,
Heal the sick, raise the dead, the Savior of mankind
The day will be soon dawning will be the end of time
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
The Son's gonna rise and shine
Jesus, Son of Glory, will save your soul and mine
Brother are you ready,
The Son's gonna rise and shine !!!
