~ It’s Friday. But Sunday’s Comin’ ~
It’s
Friday.
Jesus
is praying.
Peter
is asleep.
Judas
is betraying.
But
Sunday's comin’.
It’s
Friday.
Pilate
is struggling.
The
council conspiring.
The
crowd 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 a 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 is winning.
People
are sinning.
And
evil is grinning.
But
Sunday's comin’.
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.
But
Sunday's comin’.
It’s
Friday.
But
let me tell you something:
Sunday’s
coming’.
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?
Oh,
it’s Friday.
But
Sunday’s comin’.
It’s
Friday.
The
earth trembles.
The
sky grows dark.
My
King yield’s His spirit.
But
Sunday's comin’.
It’s
Friday.
Hope
is lost.
Death
has won.
Sin
as conquered.
And
Satan’s just a laughing.
But
Sunday's comin’.
It’s
Friday.
Jesus
is buried.
A
soldier stands guard, and a rock rolled into place.
But
it’s Friday.
It
is only Friday.
Sunday
is a comin’.
~ S.M. Lockridge (1913-2000).
Mr. Lockridge was the Pastor of Calvary
Baptist Church in San Diego, CA for many years. (In the last couple of decades Tony Compolo
has frequently delivered his own message based on the topic “It’s Friday—But
Sunday’s Coming.”)
