YouTube video: Sunday's Joy Will Come

Text:
Though Jesus raised the dead in his mortal life,
He would die a shameful death caused by angered strife.
On that fateful day when clouds covered sun,
Jesus’ enemies rejoiced, thinking they had won.

This Friday, dark like stain, never came again.
Jesus Christ was in the tomb, killed by spiteful men.
Soon a miracle honored all mankind:
Jesus burst the bonds of death, bringing life past time.

Christ’s resurrection claims all will live once more.
His gift renders unity for each soul restored.
This is Christ’s pure love giv’n on Sunday morn.
Now, throughout eternity, new life will be born.

Hereafter we will praise Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Thanking Him for giving us life forevermore.
With those gone in death, we will reunite.
Sunday’s joy will come to all filled with heaven’s light.

We will be with those we love all because of One.
Sunday’s joy will ever come; Sunday’s joy will come!
