Without equivocation or hesitation I fully and completely admit that I deny the resurrection of Christ. This is something that anyone who knows me could tell you, and I am not afraid to say it publicly, no matter what some people may think… I deny the resurrection of Christ every time I do not serve at the feet of the oppressed, each day that I turn my back on the poor; I deny the resurrection of Christ when I close my ears to the cries of the downtrodden and lend my support to an unjust and corrupt system.
However there are moments when I affirm that resurrection, few and far between as they are. I affirm it when I stand up for those who are forced to live on their knees, when I speak for those who have had their tongues torn out, when I cry for those who have no more tears left to shed.

It's Friday but Sunday's a Comin'
It was Friday. It was Friday and my Jesus was dead on the tree. But that was Friday and Sunday's a comin'.
It was Friday and Mary was crying her eyes out. The disciples were running in every direction, like sheep without a shepherd. But that was Friday and Sunday's a comin'.
Friday. They're saying, `As things have been so shall they be. You can't change anything in this world; you can't change anything. But those cynics don't know that it was only Friday. Sunday's comin'.
Friday, them forces that oppress the poor and keep people down, them forces that destroy people, the forces in control, them forces that are gonna rule, they don’t know it’s only Friday. Sunday’s a comin’.
Friday, people are saying darkness is gonna rule the world. Sadness is gonna be everywhere. But they don't know it's only Friday. Sunday's comin'.
It was Friday and on Friday Pilate thought he had washed his hands of a lot of trouble. The Pharisees were struttin' around, laughing and poking each other in the ribs. They thought they were back in charge of things. But they didn't know it was only Friday! Sunday's comin'!
This is the good news. Even though we know this world is rotten, we know it's only Friday...
