Only Needed It For The Weekend
Imagine Mary in Bethlehem, no place to stay In that crowed inn
She sure could use some rest for her weary head, and she said...
I'll only need it for the weekend, I won't be there long.
I'll only need it for the weekend, cause I'll be up and I'll be gone.
Yes, I'll be u and I'll be gone.
A man named Joseph gave Jesus his tomb
He cared so much for Him, it was the least he could do.
Now he could have given Him so many other things,
but this is what Joseph said....
He'll only need it for the weekend, He won't be there long.
He'll only need it for the weekend,
cause He'll be up and I'll be gone.
Yes He'll be u and He'll be gone.
Jesus needed that tomb for just one weekend
He didn't stay there long
He only needed it for the weekend
Now He sits high upon His throne.
He's coming back to claim His own.
Soon we'll be up, and we'll be gone.
