It's Friday, but Sunday's Coming


It’s Friday

Jesus is praying
Peter’s a sleeping

Judas is betraying
But Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday

Pilate’s struggling

The council is conspiring
The crowd is 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 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’s winning

People are sinning
And evil’s grinning

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

It’s Friday

But let me tell you something

Sunday’s comin’
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?
Ooooh
It’s Friday
But Sunday’s comin’

It’s Friday

The earth trembles

The sky grows dark
My King yields his spirit

It’s Friday

Hope is lost

Death has won
Sin has conquered
and Satan’s just a laughin’

It’s Friday

Jesus is buried

A soldier stands guard
And a rock is rolled into place

But it’s Friday

It is only Friday

Sunday is a comin’!

Middle Aged Nursery Rhymes For the Not Too Faint of Heart

(First published on Wordpress March 12, 2012)
Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean....actually Mr. Sprat would eat no carbs, but seemingly all the fat he wanted and still lost over 10lbs. Mrs. Sprat, however, was told by her doctor to avoid bread, saturated fats and sugar. She lost only 2lbs-one of which she gained back. Mrs. Sprat is not a happy camper.
Where O where has my little mind gone, O where O where can it be...?
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, If Jack jumps over anything, much less a candle stick, he will probably jump over to the chiropractor's office tomorrow.
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town-upstairs, downstairs in his nightgown; rapping at the window, crying at the lock, "why are my grandparents asleep in front of the TV? It's only 8 o'clock?
Little Bo Peep has lost her glasses and can't tell where to find them-leave her alone and she'll eventually figure out that they're on top of her head.
The north wind doth blow, And we shall have snow, And what will poor robin do then, Poor thing? she'll sit in a barn, And keep herself warm with a nice toasty hot flash.
Hey-they don't call her OLD Mother Goose for nothing!

We've been passing the current stomach bug around here-I'll be back when I'm better.
