Are you local to Union Grove? Do you have an Air B and B or VRBO that you would like listed on our website as local lodging?

With hotels being a 25 minute drive, we have a lot of people inquire about local lodging, so we are trying to gather options closer to the Grove and support our local business’s.

"It’s Friday…
Jesus is praying
Peter’s a sleeping
Judas is betraying…
But Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
Pilate’s struggling
The Council is conspiring
The crowd is vilifying…
They don’t even know…
That Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
The disciples are running like sheep without a shepherd
Mary’s crying
Peter is denying
But they don’t know…
That Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
The Romans beat my Jesus
They robe him in scarlet
They crown him with thorns
But they don’t know…
That Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
See Jesus walking to Calvary
His blood dripping…
His body stumbling…
And his spirit’s burdened…
But you see, it’s only Friday
Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
The world’s winning
People are sinning
And evil’s grinning
It’s Friday…
The soldiers nail my Savior’s hands to the cross…
They nail my Savior’s feet to the cross…
And then they raise him up…
Next to criminals
It’s Friday…
But let me tell you something
Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
The disciples are questioning
What has happened to their King?
And the Pharisees are celebrating
That their scheming has been achieved
But they don’t know…
It’s only Friday
Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
He’s hanging on the cross
Feeling forsaken by his Father
Left alone and dying
Can nobody save him?
Oh…
It’s Friday
But Sunday’s comin’
It’s Friday…
The earth trembles
The sky grows dark
My King yields his spirit…
It’s Friday…
Hope is lost
Death has won
Sin has conquered
and Satan’s just a laughin’
It’s Friday…
Jesus is buried
A soldier stands guard
And a rock is rolled into place…
…But it’s Friday…
It is only Friday…
Sunday is a comin’!"
- Pastor S.M. Lockridge
