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
O church arise
He's coming soon
