Songs that I wrote that may be secular in nature.
Eva and I wrote this song for my cousin's scholarly Biblical book, "The Third Day Bible Code". There are many instances throughout the Old Testament where 3 days (or the third day) is mentioned. This song shares a few of those instances.
On the Third Day
Words and music by Vic and Eva Zarley
It was three days that Abraham
Traveled forth to slay his son
On the third day, a ram appeared
Isaac would not be the one (Chorus)
Chorus:
God is gonna raise us
Our God is gonna save us
The road's already paved for us
By the blood of the Lamb
For three days Israel prepared
To meet God at Sinai
Warned to cleanse and purify
So that they wouldn't die (Chorus)
The Lord proclaimed that in three days
Israel could take the Promised Land
Prepare your things, keep listening
I, the Lord, am in command (Chorus)
It was three days that Esther prayed
So the Jews wouldn't die
On the third day, fasting and prayers
Stopped a brutal genocide (Chorus)
It was three days that Jonah stayed
In a great fish with his dread
"On the third day," Jesus said
He'd be raised from the dead (Instrumental solo, Bridge then Chorus)
Bridge:
If only one day is as a thousand years
We all must watch and pray
Messiah will not be returning here (or Messiah will be returning here
Until...we're in the Third Day When... we're in the third day)
Hosea says the remnant cries
To the Lord we shall return
On the third day the Lord revives
And binds what He had torn (Chorus)
