WHY DO WE CALL THIS SAD DAY GOOD FRIDAY? Because SUNDAY is COMING!

“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 - Sunday’s comin.

It’s Friday - The world’s winning - People are sinning - And evil’s grinning.

It’s Friday, (they say) 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” The congregation shouts, “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 - 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?

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 - It is only Friday.”

Sunday is a comin"
