Live from the Farewell Tour – Third Day
****

Third Day was one of my favorite bands, and I was fortunate to see them in concert a few times. They were an excellent live band, as they demonstrate on this album.

Their final concert was at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado on June 27, 2018. This album, produced by Scotty Wilbanks, the band’s long-time touring keyboardist, was recorded in a number of locations on their farewell tour (Atlanta, Houston, Red Rocks, etc.). The album was originally available only to Third Day’s fan club members but was recently released on digital platforms.

Third Day featured the powerful voice of Mac Powell, who has gone on to have a successful solo career. This album features a wide selection of songs from Third Day’s career and will be enjoyed by all Third Day fans.

I know my Shepherd gives me peace
The Lord is by my side
For every day He walks with me
The Lord is by my side

The Lord is by my side
Forever by my side
His hope, His strength, His peace is mine
The Lord is by my side

I know my Shepherd gives me strength
The Lord is by my side
For I am small, and He is great
The Lord is by my side

The Lord is by my side
Forever by my side
His hope, His strength, His peace is mine
The Lord is by my side

I know my Shepherd gives me hope
The Lord is by my side
For He will lead me safely home
The Lord is by my side

The Lord is by my side
Forever by my side
His hope, His strength, His peace is mine
The Lord is by my side

And when I look back, I will surely see
Your goodness and love, they have followed me
For when I look back, I will surely see
My Shepherd has laid down His life for me

And when I look back, I will surely see
Your goodness and love, they have followed me
For when I look back, I will surely see
My Shepherd has laid down His life for me

The Lord is by my side
Forever by my side
His hope, His strength, His peace is mine
The Lord is by my side

The Lord is by my side
Forever by my side
His hope, His strength, His peace is mine
The Lord is by my side
