Sunday’s Coming

A great light dawns in Galilee
Some say mad man
Some say King
Wonder working rebel priest
Jesus Christ the Nazarene

He knew well
What it would take
To free us all from
Sin and grave
A perfect man
Would have to die
And only He could
Pay that price
 
Friday’s good
‘Cause Sunday is coming
Don’t lose hope
‘Cause Sunday is coming
Devil, you’re done
You better start running
Friday’s good
‘Cause Sunday is coming
 
So He let those soldiers
Take Him in
As His friend betrayed
Him with a kiss
There before
The mocking crowd
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Didn’t make a sound
Then He carried
That cross to Calvary
And He shed His blood
To set us free
As the nails went in
And the sky went dark
The redemption of the world
Was on His heart
 
Friday’s good
‘Cause Sunday is coming
Don’t lose hope
‘Cause Sunday is coming
Devil, you’re done
You better start running
Friday’s good
‘Cause Sunday is coming
 
Then He
Breathed His last
And bowed His head
The Son of God
And man was dead
With bloody hands
Tears on their face
They laid Him down
Inside that grave
 
But that wasn’t the end
That wasn’t the end
That wasn’t the end
Let me tell you
What happened next
 
The women came
Before the dawn
To find that stone
Already gone
When they looked inside
The angel said
“Why you looking for the living
Among the dead?”

He’s alive
He’s alive
Hallelujah, He’s alive
Give Him praise
Lift Him high
Hallelujah, He’s alive

He’s alive
He’s alive
Hallelujah, He’s alive
Give Him praise
Lift Him high
Hallelujah, He’s alive
 
Now Jesus reigns
Upon the throne
All Heaven sings
To Him alone
We watch and wait
Like a bride for a groom
Oh, church arise
He’s coming soon
 
We watch and wait
Like a bride for a groom
Oh, church arise
He’s coming soon
