Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Chorus

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

Bridge 1

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

Verse 5

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

Refrain

He's alive He's alive
Hallelujah He's alive
Give Him praise lift Him high
Hallelujah He's alive

Bridge 2

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
