The stage is set and all is ready to go
The world is about the experience one of its greatest shows
Characters on standby, everyone in suspense
Let’s start in Gethsemane where the scene is intense
A restless Jesus prays to His Father “please pass this cup”
He wants to do right but the flesh wants Him to give up
Judas, disciple, with a kiss he betrayed
Characters in place as their roles begin to play
Peter, before the rooster’s crow, three times he denied
Mary mother of Christ, oh the tears she cried
The crowd chooses the freedom of a murderer
And shortly thereafter the crack of a whip is heard
A bruised and beaten Jesus crowned with painful thorns
The script unravels just as Isaiah had forewarned
The scene moves to a somber Calvary
Where nailed to a cross we find Jesus in agony
“My God, my God why have you forsaken me?”
Cries out our protagonist whose dripping blood does not let him see
His sixth word “it is finished” marked not the end but the start
Of a spiritual battle that would make Satan’s plans fall apart
Final word, final breath, now the true action begins
For the first time, mid show, we open the curtains
More like the veil in the temple was torn in two
Marking a new time, a period of grace for me and you
The trembling of the ground was not the only thing being shaken
A new movement, a global force would soon awaken
Dark Friday, despite the death is not the end of the story
In three days time, Sunday morning, we will experience the the joy of our Savior’s glory
