A Good Friday, is that day you look forward to,

A weekend of rest doing the things that excite you, things of fun

Champagne flowing like you are at the wedding at Cana

A Good Friday, is that holiday you've wanted so badly,

No more work and surrounded by those you love,

Laughter fills the air, you'd think they had just resurrected Lazarus.

A Good Friday, is that date you planned with your lover

Looking at your menu and discussing future plans,

Chicken may be involved, no bread but definitely wine, it isn't the last supper.

That Good Friday, is the day the right was wronged

And He was surrounded by foes

Their celebration, His prayer

That Good Friday, is the day looked down upon his mother

Her gaze showing it's unexpected thoughts

Her tears silent against the roars of celebration

That Good Friday, is the day the veil of the temple was lifted

That God may see His bride

And that His bride may no longer hide her joy

That Good Friday, is the day we now celebrate

And we can boldly say,

Jesus died for you and for me

It all happened on that Good Friday

On the Cross He hanged

That we may be freed of the chains that hung us.
