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 Hallelujah, hallelujah Don't lose hope 'cause Sunday's 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
