Ashley's Adventure Music: Good Friday

In the garden, olives pressed
Jesus fell upon His face
"Sweat like blood upon the ground
Father, please, take this cup away"

But the soldiers came with torches
Led by one who kissed His cheek
Peter's sword flashed in the moonlight
Then the silence, then the grief

Caiaphas tore his robes
"Blasphemy!" the high priest cried
Peter warmed himself by fire
Then he swore, "I don't know Him" — and he cried

Pilate washed his hands in water
Told the crowd, "He's not guilty"
But they screamed for Barabbas
And they shouted, "Crucify!"

He never said a word
Like a lamb before the shearers
He never fought, He never cursed
He just kept walking toward the cross
For us, for us

Simon from Cyrene
Carried the cross when Jesus fell
Women wept along the roadside
"Daughters, weep for yourselves" He said

The nails, the hammer, the tearing flesh
The cross lifted to the sky
Between two thieves, He hung there
"Father, forgive them," His dying cry

The sky turned black at noon
The earth began to shake
The temple veil was torn in two
As Jesus gave His life for you
For you, for you

"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"
My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Then He bowed His head and whispered
"It is finished" And He was free

A soldier pierced His side
Blood and water flowing down
Joseph took His body down
Laid Him in a borrowed ground

Saturday was silent
The disciples hid in fear
The women bought their spices
But the tomb was dark and sealed and near

Three days of hopeless weeping
Three days of shattered dreams
The Son of God was dead and gone
Or so it seemed

But Sunday's coming
Sunday's on its way
The stone will roll
The light will break
Death will not have the final say!

HE ROSE! HE ROSE!
THE TOMB COULD NOT HOLD HIM!
HE ROSE! HE ROSE!
DEATH COULD NOT CONTROL HIM!
GOOD FRIDAY'S DARKNESS
LASTED JUST A DAY
BUT SUNDAY MORNING
CHANGED EVERYTHING!

[Outro]
Good Friday...
He did it for love
Good Friday...
Then Sunday came
