About the song
Watching a sun rise one morning, I wondered what it must have been like
to witness the very first morning in the earth's creation. In the book of Job
, we read that the "morning stars sang together and the angels shouted for
joy". I believe that the earth - the heavens - the seas and the mountains
burst into song.
AND THEN, oh you know it's coming...AND THEN , I thought how God the
Father and all angels and the earth rejoiced when THE SON - HIS ONLY
SON - rose victoriously from the grave - forever conquering sin and death.

LYRICS
Verse One
When it all began it was cold and dark,
There was no earth and there were no stars,
Then God said, “Let there be light”.
Well He finished all the universe and then sat down,
Gathered all the angels in heaven around.
The He smiled and said,“Let’s watch the sun rise.”
Chorus
When the sun rose, it was a brand new day.
The earth rejoiced when it heard God say,
“See how it shines –This sun of mine”.
Then all creation sang hallelujah
When they saw the mighty power of Jehovah
When the sun rose,When the sun rose.
Verse Two
We crucified Him, then laid Him in a grave,
All hope was gone, it had been three days.
Then God said,“Now is the time.”
There came a mighty rumble,
and the stone was rolled away.
All the angels started shouting
for they knew it was the day.
When God said,“Let’s watch my son rise!”
Repeat Chorus except use “Son” instead of “Sun”
Bridge
Death where is your victory
Grave where is your sting
Sin and death forever conquered
By Christ the Lord and King.
Repeat Chorus.
