He lay in the grave on Saturday
The cruel cross on Friday put Him there
All hope was lost the disciples despaired
Like us they heard Him but it hadn’t sunk in
Just like today the people were walking in darkness
Dreary interminable days grasped the Saturday People
Most of us have felt that way
Hope in hope is dashed each day
Friends die without reason
Evil seems to have the upper hand
We languish in our desperate fates
Life wiled away and today we are the Saturday People
They saw the tomb and the stone was rolled away
His grave clothes lay in the tomb
He wasn’t there for He had risen
Just as He said He would
We can trust Him especially His Word
He came looking for us the Saturday People
Jesus had risen
He wasn’t in the tomb
Jesus had risen
Praise God, Lord of Lords and King of kings
Christ is alive and well defeating death destroying hell
For those who claim His gift of life-it is free bought by His sacrifice
Saturday people are all around us
They lead quiet lives of despair
We have been saved by Jesus He has forgiven our sin
He has put us into the House of God
We are God’s children, He rules through Christ
Joy, peace and salvation are mine-Jesus is alive in my heart
