Palm Sunday came as prophesied
Upon a donkey Jesus rode.
Into Jerusalem he came
Fulfilling prophecy long foretold.
Monday the temple was defiled
As many came to sell their goods.
Jesus cried out “why do ye this”
He ran them out just as he should.
Tuesday Jesus taught His truths
Some clearly did not understand.
Love each other like I have
And I will make your life so grand.
Wednesday was spent in Bethany
With friends and family one last time.
The coming days would be extreme
His sacrifice would be sublime.
Thursday Night he supped with twelve
But one would break a sacred trust.
Into the Garden he would go
And suffer all, he knew he must.
Judas came with evil men
With 30 pieces sold his king.
Like a lamb He freely went
To all, salvation would he bring.
Friday saw him whipped and scourged
A purple robe and crown of thorns
Never did poison leave his lips
“For this purpose was I born”.
Led up a hill, nailed to a cross
His work was finished, it was done.
The earth cried out and storms did rage.
They killed God’s only perfect son.
Saturday was an awful day
The savior of the world was gone.
All hope, it seems, was far away
Sunday was coming with the dawn.
Sunday an empty tomb was found
Angels proclaimed “He is not here”
The Savior of the world, he lives!
He kept His promise, that is clear!
What joy did fill their longing hearts
As one by one His wounds they felt.
His sacrifice was now complete
As at his feet they wept and knelt.
The day is coming soon again
When we will touch his sacred hands.
I pray our hearts are ready then
To praise His name from every land!
He is our Savior that I know
I choose to follow him each day.
The great rewards we will receive
Will be an eternal sacred pay!
