It’s Friday

Jesus is praying, Peter’s a sleeping, Judas is betraying, but Sunday’s comin’!

It’s Friday

Pilate’s struggling, the council is conspiring, the crowd is vilifying – they don’t even know that Sunday’s comin’!

It’s Friday

The disciples are running like sheep without a shepherd. Mary’s crying, Peter is denying, but they don’t know that Sunday’s a comin’!

It’s Friday

The Romans beat my Jesus, they robe him in scarlet, they crown him with thorns, but they don’t know that Sunday’s comin’!

It’s Friday

See Jesus walking to Calvary, his blood dripping, his body stumbling, and his spirit’s burdened…But you see, it’s only Friday and Sunday’s comin’!

It’s Friday

The world’s winning, people are sinning, and evil’s grinning.

It’s Friday

The soldiers nail my Savior’s hands to the cross , they nail my Savior’s feet to the cross, and then they raise him up next to criminals.

It’s Friday

But let me tell you something…Sunday’s comin’!

It’s Friday

The disciples are questioning what has happened to their King and the Pharisees are celebrating that their scheming has been achieved, but they don’t know it’s only Friday and Sunday’s comin’.!

 

It’s Friday

He’s hanging on the cross, feeling forsaken by his Father, left alone and dying. Can nobody save him? Ooooh…It’s Friday, but Sunday’s comin’!

It’s Friday

The earth trembles, the sky grows dark, My King yields his spirit.

It’s Friday

Hope is lost. Death has won. Sin has conquered and Satan’s just a laughin’.

It’s Friday

Jesus is buried. A soldier stands guard and a rock is rolled into place.

But it’s Friday…Its only Friday…and Sunday is a comin’!
