Caesar, Shirley - Sunday's On The Way Lyrics
The demons were planning on having a party one night
They had some whiskey and beer and pretzels, a little red wine, some wine
They were celebrating how they crucified Jesus on the tree
But uh Satan the snake itself was feeling ill at ease
And he called a faithful friend, the grave, to see for sure if Christ was dead
Hey grave, Satan said, tell me, did my plan fail
The grave just laughed and said, don't worry, Jesus is dead as man
On Friday night they crucified the Lord at Calvary
But he said don't dread, in three days I'm gonna live again, you'll see
When problems try to bury you and make it hard to pray
It may seem like Friday night, but Sunday's on the way
A tranquilizer and a horror flick didn't calm Satan's fear
Hey grave, what's going on, grave said, man, you call me twice
Now I'll tell you for the last time, boss, Jesus is on ice
Listen, then Satan said, remember when Lazarus was in the grave
Everything was cool then four days later Lazarus was raised
Now, this Jesus is much more trouble than anyone has ever been to me
He's got me shook 'cause I heard him say he'll only be dead three days
On Friday night they took the Jesus to Calvary
But he said don't dread, in three days I'm gonna live again, you'll see
When problems try to bury you and make it hard to pray
It may seem like Friday night, Sunday's on the way, I'll see you
Listen
Sunday morning Satan woke up with a jump ready to blow a fuse
He was shaking from the tips of his pointed ears down to the toes of his pointed shoes
Hey grave, tell me, is he alive, I don't wanna lose my neck
The grave said, your evilness, maintain your cool, man. you're a wreck
Now, the grave said, now cool your jets big D, my sting is still intact
You see, Jesus is dead forever, man, and he ain't gonna never coming back
Listen, so you just mellow out and drink up or shoot up, leave me alone
And you know what, I'm gonna catch you later
Later
Oh wait, wait, wait
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Somebody's messing with the stone
The stone was pushed away and it bounced a time or two
And an angel stepped inside and said, "I'm Gabriel, who are you?"
Now if you wonder where the Lord is at this very hour
Now, I tell you he's alive with resurrection power
On Friday night they crucify my Jesus out on Calvary
But he said don't dread, in three days I'm gonna live again, you'll see
When problems try to bury you and they make it so hard for you to pray
It may seem like it's Friday night, but Sunday, Sunday, I come and tell you Sunday
Sunday is on the way

Take 6 brought me here
I lived and breathed these songs when I was a new Christian. LOVE THE LORD! And Carman LOL. Thanks for posting!
Lawndart1138, Would you consider putting animation to "God Don't Care" and "Temptation Boogie"? This is my kids' (and the neighbors' kids') favorite music video!
It's froday!!! But- Sunday's a comin'!!!!!!!!!

Nope! He isn't Dead. So don't Dread!

A masterpiece in its own right! What an awesome tool for evangelism during the Easter holy week.
This song is Amazing
this is one of the songs that helped me grow as a christan years ago and this is a faithful cartoon fitting with that song :P lovein it
Thanks for this. My all time favorite Carman song. I listened to this over and over as a young boy; it grounded my faith.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen
Max Barber thanks for the input
wish to get karoke version of this for hymn sing
happy Easter everybody also nice animation
I CRIED....
This wonderful song has been inspiring my kids for years. And now. apparently, it will inspire my grandchildren too.
Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Such a great job. Thanks and Happy Empty Tomb Day!
At my school our Pastor danced to this song on stage and had a black hoodie and there were 2 chairs he would go over on one chair and put his hoodie on to play when Satan called and he rolled over on the other chair and took his hoodie off and played the grave
I love the animation of "Sunday's on the Way" by Carman.
My favorite part is when it's quiet than Jesus is alive with resurrection power yay I'm so happy for Jesus
Can you make one on I can only imagine?
You lose Satan! Jesus is ALIVE AGAIN!!
A Cross guitar...
Not too wild about the cartoons!
Happy Easter Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!
Donna Ferrell AMEN!
Donna Ferrell Oh no man...oh NOO! SOMEBODY'S MESSING WITH THE STONE!!
Man I love Jesus' style! And I hope Satan is mortally terrified of Jesus,because
after what Satan pulled in heaven,and what all he's done to humanity,I know Jesus
is going to take Satan's ugly head as a trophy!I'd like to be there to see Satan's
execution.
as usual ANOTHER brillo Christian rock song about The Risen Saviour ! :-)
Absolutely brilliant. I have loved this song for many many years but you have succeeded in putting a brilliant new twist on it.Th animation is so different and I shall share it with my friends. Thanks so much for all your hard work. I hope Carman has seen it.
Carman was awesome in the 80s and he is just as great today never get tired of listening to him
I've used this in my Children's Sunday School class. My daughter loves it with the animation. Thanks for posting.
I like this part
this is his I think first album
+john jones Nope He had several others before!
awww this is so lovely i love this skit form this was done in . God bless you all amen.
Shirley Caesar also did a version of this song which I thought was pretty good. Hope it's on youtube.com
Great song for Good Friday!
I thank God for his Son. And for my Girlfriend, Kaycee who lives in Britain. She's lovely. Soon I know she'll be Here with me in America. Love is always what God would Encourage.
these songs are so true even this many years ago
evenso Lord ...come quickly....=)
JESUS SAVES>>> PRAY AND SAY GOD I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU, I ASK YOU GOD TO FORGIVE ME OF ALL MY SINS,I REPENT(turn from)GOD OF ALL MY SINS FROM MY HEART; JESUS I ASK YOU TO SAVE ME. IF YOU MEAN IT WITH YOUR HEART WHEN YOU PRAY UNTO GOD; GOD WILL SAVE YOU,FORGIVE ALL YOUR SINS AND GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE YOU BEFORE YOU DIE *ROMANS 10:9-13;PSALM 32:5.
Awesome!
I LOVED IT!!!!
Thank you very much! Very inspiring song! Sunday is on the way! Praise the Lord!
Thank you so much and to God be the Glory for giving you the incite to do this video. I first heard this song as a little girl when Shirley Ceaser did it and wore the record out listening to this one song LOL. Now at age 5, my son loves Carman's version (as do I) and Loves your video. 800 of those hits has to be from us alone LOL. My son even did a "one man show", acting out the song for Easter, all because of this video. Thank you again and God bless you!
This is good. When I read the Gospel of Bartholomew. Hell shook and wail when Jesus came. Hell was that afraid.
I love how "Grave" has a Bluetooth.
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!
I don't know what else to say!!
Praise the Lord...cuz' Sunday's on the Way!!
... Scripture also states He rose on the 1st day of the week, which is, of course true. Sunday is the first day of the week, to the Jewish calendar, and the creation of the world. the Sabbath is the 'rest day', which is Saturday, with only our time of when the days starts being off. Jewish days start at sundown & go till sundown. so 1st day = Sat sundown till Sun sundown, which is mostly Sunday, but about 4 hours off. the mistake is only a lack of understanding of the Jewish calendar & days.
... And Yeshua rose before sundown of a Saturday night, the 3rd night. it was Sunday morning when they went to His tomb and found it empty. many mistakenly think He died on Fri night because Scripture tells us about them breaking His legs so He would not be on the cross on a "Sabbath" day, which normally begins on a Fri night. but Scripture also tells us that it was a "high day" Sabbath, which means it was a special Sabbath and thus not a Friday night.
awesome! one thing tho. one detail is wrong. Yeshua was dead for three days and three nights. many of us Christians think Fri night to Sun morning is "3 days", well it is if u don't count 3 days & three nights. but out savior really meant 3 days & 3 nights as He truly said when he walked this earth. study it yourself. the real account is that He died on a Wed afternoon/evening, before sundown Wednesday night. thru Thu night makes 1 night & day. thru Fri night makes a 2nd day & night. ...
I like Take 6's version best, but I'm grateful to Carman for the original idea.
Woke up this morning with this song going through my mind. Its been 15+ years since I have heard it :). Thanks for posting & great video. Love the animation.....
i love this video
Jesus looks great rockin out on the guitar. :D
I remember doing a dramatic interpretation to this song over 10 years ago."It may seem like Friday niiiiiiight but Sunday's on the way!!"
great video!!
Awesome.
