[Verse 1] First day Light just slipped away We were cooking in the courtyard Then the sky went strange Smoke in my throat Ground still shaking under my feet We buried our cries in our blankets Prayed we were more than this heat [Chorus] Three days without a sun Three nights that never broke I held my children in the black Counting every trembling note Of every whispered name of God Every tear on my father’s face Till the darkness met a Voice That wrapped itself around this place [Verse 2] Second day Ash on every stair Neighbors calling through the doorway “Is anybody there?” We couldn’t see our hands But I could feel my shame Every careless word I’d spoken Felt heavier than the quakes [Chorus] Three days without a sun Three nights that would not move I clung to stories of a King Who’d give His hands to prove That even in this choking dark He’d know each buried face Till the silence split like stone And mercy filled this place [Bridge] Then it came Not thunder Not fire Just a Voice so clean It cut through the choir Of fear in my chest Of hunger and dust Calling “Turn to Me I remember your trust” Walls stopped groaning My heartbeat slowed I fell on the floor Didn’t need to be told I knew who was speaking Though I’d never seen His eyes Every word like water On a land that had run dry [Verse 3] And then the light Not morning Not noon Something sweeter Thicker Than the brightest day I knew I ran to the temple Bare feet on broken stone Crowds pressed in around me But I’d never felt less alone [Chorus] Three days without a sun Then He stood before our dust Hands like open stories Written in a language of trust He called our children forward Held them close One by one In the glow around His shoulders We forgot we’d ever lost the sun [Outro] I was there When the darkness learned His name When the Man who conquered death Walked through our wounded shame I still wake some nights Thinking I can’t see His face Till I remember how it felt When His light filled this place
