Here Are the Lyrics to Phil Wickham's "Sunday Is Coming"

Phil Wickham releases his brand new single "Sunday Is Coming" today. The song is the second single off of Phil Wickham's ninth studio album. Written by Wickham, Jonathan Smith, Steven Furtick & Adrian Disch, "Sunday is Coming"  focuses on the life of Jesus, His death and resurrection.

Wickham writes, "With this song we set out to tell the Easter story as best as we could in song. The story of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus is the greatest story ever told, and the best part about it is that it's TRUE. This is Hope, this is salvation, this is love, this is the Gospel. And it's not just a story of something that HAPPENED, it's also a story of what is still HAPPENING! Every day people all over the world are calling on the name of Jesus and stepping into the resurrection victory that Jesus won!

"I pray this song is used as a tool to point people's eyes and hearts to Jesus. To move them to wonder and repentance and worship. As we near the beautiful Holy Week of Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday may the reality and significance of it all hit you in big and profound ways. May you be reminded that Jesus is KING and forever will be. Amen. Hallelujah." 

[Verse 1]
A great light dawns in Galilee
Some say madman, some say King
Wonder-workin' rebel priest
Jesus Christ the Nazarene

[Verse 2]
He knew well what it would take
To free us all from sin and grave
A perfect man would have to die
And only He could pay that price 

[Chorus]
Friday's good 'cause Sunday is comin'
Don't lose hope 'cause Sunday is comin'
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
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'
Don't lose hope 'cause Sunday is comin'
Devil, you're done, you better start runnin'
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

[Interlude]
But that wasn't the end
That wasn't the end
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
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Don't lose hope 'cause Sunday is comin'
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Outro]
Now Jesus reigns upon the throne
All Heaven sings to Him alone
We watch and wait like a bride for a Groom
Oh, church arise, He's coming soon
