Good Friday

  • 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
    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
    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
    It is only Friday
    Sunday is a comin’!

Scripture(s)
  • Luke 24:36-49

    Jesus Appears to the Disciples

    36 While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

    37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

    40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.

    44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”

    45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46 He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
