Saturday is Necessary


The tomb was closed
Hearts laid bare
How can hope persevere?
With the Savior who died in there?

The in between is frightening
We cant see which way to go
How can the grave be an awakening?
On Saturday we cannot know.

Faith is forged in the darkness
When feeble prayers are said
How can I trust in this bleakness?
When the one I loved is dead?

Saturday is just as necessary
As the cross and Sunday morn
For each life has seasons where darkness tarries
In the tomb new life is born

Take heart in the waiting
When it seems like all is lost
There is hope sprouting in the burying
The son has paid the cost

Your Saturday seasons are not in vain
You are seen and loved in heartbreak
The one who died knows your deep pain
He’s with you in all your heartache

You don’t have to deny the struggle of the clouds
That shattered life pictures bring
It is human and divine to cry aloud
For the tears give permission for a broken heart to sing

Sunday is coming soon
For the savior and for you
The sun will once again shine at noon
And light will brighten you anew

The stone will roll from the grave
The Savior will walk away free
Enabling feeble hearts to be brave
A new hope for the world to see.
