A Portrait of the Savior

1. One day Jesus rode through the city
The crowds were excited, waving leaves
Singing Hosannas from every street
That day was bright, bright green

2. Thursday was filled with faded hues
Goodbye supper in the Upper Room
Weary, lonely garden doom
Thursday was sad, sad blue

CHORUS
A portrait of the Savior  
The last days of his life
In vivid living color			
Jesus is what grace looks like		

3. Friday was fearful, filled with dread
Jesus stumbling, thorns on His head
Nailed to a cross where His body bled
Friday was deep, deep red

4. Darkness filled the colorless trap
Where Jesus was buried, His body wrapped
Death held tight with an icy grasp
Saturday was cold, cold black

CHORUS

5. Sunday was glory, shimmering white
Sunrise turning warm and bright
No more a gravesite, dark as night
Sunday was pure, pure light!
