WHEN THE SUN RISES, I PRAISE THE LORD.
WHEN IT SETS I DO THE SAME.
HE IS A GREAT, GLORIOUS, MIGHTY KING!
AND HE KNOWS MY NAME!

I BEGIN TO PRAY, DOWN ON MY KNEES,
I FEEL HIS TOUCH UPON MY HEAD.
THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.
"I AM A RISEN LORD! I AM NOT DEAD."
I FEEL THE RUSH, IT WASHES OVE ME.
IT WARMS ME THROUGH AND THROUGH.
MY GOD IS WITH ME NOW AND FOREVER.
IS HE WITH YOU?

WHEN THE SUN RISES, I PRAISE THE LORD.
WHEN IT SETS, I DO THE SAME.
HE IS A GREAT, GLORIOUS, MIGHTY KING!
AND HE KNOWS MY NAME.

WHEN I REACH THOSE PEARLY GATES IN HEAVEN,
AND I WALK IN. HE'S FORGIVEN ALL MY SINS.
I FEEL CONFIDENT, ASSURED, AND BLESSED.
I'M LOVED BY HIM ON HIGH.
ARE YOU SURE OF WHERE YOU'RE GOING,
WHEN YOU DIE?

WHEN THE SUN RISES, I PRAISE THE LORD.
WHEN IT SETS, I DO THE SAME.
HE IS A GREAT, GLORIOUS, MIGHTY KING!
AND HE KNOWS MY NAME!

WHEN HE COMES DOWN,
FROM HEAVEN ABOVE.
COMING BACK,
WITH ALL HIS LOVE.
CAN HE COUNT ON YOU,
TO SPREAD HIS NAME AROUND?
WHEN HE COMES BACK,
WILL THERE BE ANY SACRED GROUND?

WHEN THE SUN RISES, I PRAISE THE LORD.
WHEN IT SETS, I DO THE SAME.
HE IS A GREAT, GLORIOUS, MIGHTY KING!
AND HE KNOWS MY NAME!

ASK EVERYONE YOU MEET,
FRIEND OR FOE THE SAME.
"HAVE YOU MET THE LORD?
DOES HE KNOW YOUR NAME?"
WELL RAISE YOUR HANDS, AND SAY AMEN,
DON'T BE AFRAID TO DO IT AGAIN.
STAND UP AND SHOUT!
FOR HE'S ON YOUR SIDE.
SHOW HIM IT WASN'T IN VAIN,
THAT HE DIED.

AND WHEN THE SUN RISES, PRAISE THE LORD.
WHEN IT SETS, DO THE SAME.
HE IS A GREAT, GLORIOUS, MIGHTY KING!
DOES HE KNOW YOUR NAME?
