43rd Street Melody

The following lyrics were written for use during a youth-led worship at Gethsemane in Houston in the summer of 2009, I think.  The lyrics were actually "penned" while driving on 43rd Street in Houston, thus the title.  The idea for the refrain came from a worship experience Jim Holmlund had one time.

Surprisingly, I still remember the melody and will try to record and post it in the future.

43rd Street Melody(The Three Day Weekend)

On Friday, Precious Friday... Jesus died on the cross
On Friday, Precious Friday...Jesus died for our sins
On Sunday, that Third Day... Our Savior rose again
1...2...3

Now is the time to rest in His grace
Now is the time to listen
Now is the time for all weary hearts
Now is the time to worship

Now is the time to sing praise to Him
Lift up our voice in thanksgiving
Now is the time to make joyful noise
Now is the time to worship

On Friday, Precious Friday... Jesus died on the cross
On Friday, Precious Friday...Jesus died for our sins
On Sunday, that Third Day... Our Savior rose again
1...2...3

Now is the time to gather as one
And fix our eyes upon Him
Now is the time for old and for young
Now is the time to worship

Now is the time to sing "Hallelujah"
The time to sing "Christ is Lord"
Now is the time to sing praises to you
Now is the time to worship
Now is the time to worship

On Friday, Precious Friday... Jesus died on the cross
On Friday, Precious Friday...Jesus died for our sins
On Sunday, that Third Day... Our Savior rose again
