OOO, WHAT A SAD DAY
When the angry leaders killed Jesus
Ooo, what a sad day
When they laid his body
In the tomb
But 1 day later
Tick tock, tick tock
2 days later
Tick tock, tick tock
On the third day
God’s mighty power
Changed death to life
And Jesus rose to live again!
Jumping, jumping for joy
God’s mighty power
Changed death to life
Jumping, jumping for joy
The same mighty power
Is jumping in me!
