Palm Sunday

When the time came, 
the disciples did as Jesus said, 
they went and found the colt, 
untied him, 
and brought him to Jesus. 

When they entered the city, 
all the people praised him. 

"Hossanna in the highest!" 
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" 
"Blessed is the son of David!" 

(All they said was true and he made no effort to silence them!) 

Surely he has come to claim his throne, 
surely he has come to break the hold of Rome, 
Now, God will be avenged, cut for cut and broken bone for broken bone, 
God's Messiah will send these Roman armies home. 

Jesus will indeed reclaim his throne, he will fulfill all of the scripture, 
and in his time make all things new again. 

"Hossanna in the highest!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" 
"Hossanna in the highest!" 

Then he went to the Temple, 
ready for what was to come.
