Good Friday

How good can a day be
When taunts and jeers line the street?
When the world mocks
The Son of God audaciously?
How good can that day be?

How good can a day be
When a man is beaten senselessly?
When they strip him of dignity
And nail Him to a tree?
How good can that day be?

How good can a day be
When Jesus dies for you and me?
When love is poured out
For all humanity?
How good can that day be?

How good can a day be
When all my sins are washed away?
When God pardons
And forgives me for going astray?
Oh how good that day can be!
