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

Jesus, Son of Glory will save your soul and mine Brother are you ready, the Son's gonna rise and shine.
