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 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 Sons's gonna rise and shine

He'll take away the keys of death, the grave will loose its bind

Hell will be defeated in three days of time

On resurrection morning, the Son's gonna rise and shine



It's been two thousand years, but the story's still the same

For those who will believe in 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 soon be 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.
