Good Friday, also called Holy Friday or Great Friday, is the Friday preceding Easter Sunday. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ at Calvary. Many Christians spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross. Did you remember to spend your day thanking God?
And they dressed Him in purple
And condemned Him to die
Mocked, spat upon, and whipped Him
As Pontius Pilate stood by
And with thorns as a crown
He was then led away
To carry His cross
And show us the way
Falling under the burden
Of its heavy weight
But rising up again
Knowing full-well His fate
And meeting His mother
With anguish untold
As God's plan of Great Love
Proceeds to unfold
Simon helps Jesus
Who seems broken and frail
And Veronica steps forward
To wipe His face with her veil
But He soon falls again
For a second time
Paying a price with His suffering
His love being the crime
Women and children
He meets on His way
Then falls for a third time
This most solemn Friday
Adding further humiliation
To any of His woes
Jesus is then
Stripped of His clothes
And while nailed to the cross
His earthly time here passes
His own life He gave
For the salvation of masses
