Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday



Jesus Christ began at Jericho, ascending to 

the Holy City, Jerusalem

It was 3,000 feet of climbing on a donkey,

borrowed, for the use of him
It was a prophetic fulfillment, spoken of the
arrival of the King
With palms waving and Hosanna's praising, 
a joyous time to sing
A passion was emerging, the beginning of 
a Holy convocation
A triumph for the world; God came to die, 
a heavenly oblation
He was the promised Messiah, the Savior of 
all creation
Who was born to die, and then rise in a
splendorous manifestation
It was fitting to pave His path, with carpets
of royal fronds
For He embodies the power to break chains,
 and loose all the bonds
He gave life to the tree, His nemesis, and
then was His cross
But He counted it worthy to be an instrument,
to cover the cost
The palm was a branch laid down to the One,
who would set us free
 But His hands are the palms, nailed in victory,
 a ransom for you and me.
