A Reading for Palm Sunday
And so it was near Bethany
Upon the Olivet Mountain
Two pair of feet were sent
A colt to be found as they went
Four calloused hands untied -
A colt not one had yet to ride
It was just as He had spoken
It was just as He had said
‘Our LORD has need of it’ were the -
Five words to say when wowed
Mens cloaks upon the colt did lay
His throne clip clopped throughout the day
Downhill they walked with voices raised
Multitude of men set strong with praise
Jerusalem neared as they sang
Wet tears fell from their sitting King
He knew where this trotting led
Gethsemane nears ‘round the bend
The tears which damp the mountain soil
Foretell His bleeding in garden toil
‘Blessed is this coming King
Highest glory and peace!’ they sing
Pharisees rebuked and raised a nose
Yet, stones would've sung if no one was

had known on this day the things that make fore peace!
But now they are hidden from your eyes.
had known on this day the things that make fore peace!
But now they are hidden from your eyes.
