Palm Sunday

Apr 05, 2017, 11:10 AM

Time's Fullness comes to Jerusalem Midst the throng of waving palms and praise; "Son of David!" we all cry in unison Beholding our king, our hosannas raise! This is the sudden coming, the long-awaited hour — Riding on a donkey's colt, bearing our salvation; No longer secret, now wielding his power, In this display of prophecy, he unites a nation. Now is the fullness; now, the expectation. The rumor becomes real, promise becomes plan; Our enemies, shall kneel, shall see the revelation, Lift up the King of kings, exalt the Son of Man. Who could not Hosannas bring, not welcome his renown? Who seeing would disown him, deny to him his crown?
