Sunday Is Coming

A great light dawns in Galilee
Some say madman, 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

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Don't lose hope, 'cause Sunday is coming
Hallelujah, hallelujah

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
