The Day Jesus Died All the angels in heaven cried He gave his life on calvary He had an awful burden to bear The thunder roared in the blackened sky They buried him in a lonesome tomb But on the third day he did arise He is preparing a place for you and me When your time on earth is through
That fateful day when Jesus died
To forgive the sins of you and me
As through his skin the nails did tear
To announce to the world that Jesus did die
As the hopes of the world turned to gloom
And ascended to Heaven up in the skies
More magnificent than anything you ever did see
With open arms he will welcome you
