Tony Campolo, the spiritual advisor to President Clinton, brought attention to a sermon by Rev. S. M. Lockridge, by preaching and authoring a book by the same title.

Shadrach Meschach Lockridge was the  Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego from 1953 to 1993. Calvary Baptist Church was established in 1889 as the Second Baptist Church, by  1926 the church moved to it's present location and was renamed Calvary Baptist Church. He was on the faculty of the Billy Graham School of Evangelism and the Greater Los Angeles Sunday School Convention. S.M. Lockridge passed away in 2000.

Here is the full text of Reverand Lockridge's sermon.

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 a 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'.

Let's go!

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? Oooh, 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 laughing.

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'.


There is no attribution to this audio of the sermon and some have disputed if it is indeed Lockridge but we include it because of it's passion and cadence.
