It's Wednesday
Jesus is prayin'...Peter's sleepin'...Judas is betrayin'
But Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
Pilate's strugglin'...The council is conspirin'...The crowd is vilifyin'
They don't even know...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The disciples are runnin'...Mary's cryin'...Peter's denyin'
Even they don't know...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The Romans beat my Jesus...They robe Him in scarlet...They crown Him with thorns
But they don't know...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday...See Jesus walkin' to Calvary
His blood's drippin'...His body's stumblin'...His Spirit's burdened
But you see, it's only Wednesday...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The world's winnin'...People are sinnin'...And evil's grinnin'
They'll be shocked...For Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
They nail His hands...They nail His Feet...They raise Him up by criminals
But let me tell you somethin'...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The disciples are questionin'...The Pharisee's are celebratin'...The crowd's mockin'
But they still don't know...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
He's hangin' on the cross...Forsaken by His Father...Left alone and dyin'
Yes!...He knows Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The earth trembles...The sky grows dark...He yields His Spirit
He has no doubt...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The disciples lose hope...Death has won...Sin has conquered and Satan's laughin'
It's only Wednesday...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
Jesus is buried...Soldiers stand guard...The grave is sealed
But it's Wednesday...It's only Wednesday...Sunday's comin'
Jesus is prayin'...Peter's sleepin'...Judas is betrayin'
But Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
Pilate's strugglin'...The council is conspirin'...The crowd is vilifyin'
They don't even know...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The disciples are runnin'...Mary's cryin'...Peter's denyin'
Even they don't know...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday
The Romans beat my Jesus...They robe Him in scarlet...They crown Him with thorns
But they don't know...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday...See Jesus walkin' to Calvary
His blood's drippin'...His body's stumblin'...His Spirit's burdened
But you see, it's only Wednesday...Sunday's comin'
It's Wednesday

NOTE: This is my version of a song inspired by the preaching of S. M. Lockridge (1913-2000), a prominent African-American preacher known for his dynamic, passionate, and fervent sermons. Tony Campolo was so impressed by Lockridge’s lesson on “It’s Friday But Sunday’s Coming,” that he wrote a book with that title. My contribution is as follows: Wednesday sunset to Thursday sunset, one day. Thursday sunset to Friday sunset, two days. Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, three days. For the writers of the Scriptures, the first day of the week began at sunset on the weekly Sabbath. From Matthew 12:40.
