A never before ridden colt
Would be the transport of the king
Hosanna in the highest
Would be the praise exclaimed by many
Schemes were set in motion
To betray the king in private
One final gathering in an upper room where
One disciple would deny and the other betray
“Please take this cup of suffering from me” but
“Your will be done not mine”
The cup of wrath is consumed and
30 pieces of silver and a kiss was the cost of betrayal
Arrested and led away yet
Innocent of all accusations
Beaten beyond recognition and
Made to don a crown of thorns
Crucifixion is the sentence given
A heavy cross pressed on gaping flesh as
Help came from a stranger ascending the hill
Nailed to that very cross
Mocked by so many yet
Mourned by a few
Paradise is offered then
Breath escapes His body
The veil is torn in two
Truly He is
3 days pass
The stone is rolled away
An empty grave is found
Sin is overcome for good
Victory is won
The enemy is defeated
He has paid the debt we owe
Accept this gift He so freely gives
He is alive! Hallelujah! He is alive!
