Full Lyrics of Sunday Is Coming to Enjoy

Intro

Today, my friends, you do not have to fight in this battle
Stand aside
Hold your position and you will see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf
And we know His name
We know His name, church
We know His name, friends
His name is Jesus
And all who call upon His name will be saved
For He died and He rose again, I’ll never stop singin’ about it
I cannot wait to sing this story next
This is called “Sunday is Coming”

Verse 1

A great light dawns in Galilee
Some say madman, some say King
Wonder-workin’ rebel priest
Jesus Christ of Nazarene

Verse 2

He knew well what it would take
To free us all from sin and grave
A pеrfect man would have to die
And only Hе could pay that price

Chorus

Friday’s good ’cause Sunday is comin’
Don’t lose hope, ’cause Sunday is comin’
And devil, you’re done, you better start runnin’
Friday’s good ’cause Sunday is comin’

Verse 3

So He let those soldiers take Him in
As His friend betrayed Him with a kiss
And 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 comin’
So don’t lose hope, ’cause Sunday is comin’
And devil, you’re done, you better start runnin’
And Friday’s good ’cause Sunday is comin’

Bridge

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
No, that wasn’t the end
And that wasn’t the end
Let me tell you what happened next

Verse 5

The women came before the dawn
To find that stone already gone
When they looked inside, the angel said
“Why you lookin’ for the livin’ among the dead?”

Refrain

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

Interlude

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Don’t lose hope ’cause Sunday is comin’
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, don’t lose hope ’cause Jesus is comin’
Oh, Jesus is alive
The grave couldn’t contain Him
Jesus is alive
Hell could not defeat Him
Jesus is alive
He’s bigger than our sins, bigger than our shame
Oh, Jesus is alive

Outro

And now Jesus reigns upon the throne
All of Heaven sings to Him alone
So we watch and wait, like a bride for a groom
Oh, church arise, ’cause Jesus is coming soon
