Our Special Guest
“Please! Please let me through…
I must see Jesus… The King of the Jews!”
From Bethany and the Mount of Olives He’s coming today…
they have laid palm branches and their cloaks all along His pathway!
It’s so very busy… with everyone making preparations…
for the Passover being so close…and the shepherds with their sheep…
are coming to the temple as usual…
Jerusalem is full of people from all over…
they have come to the temple to prepare to make sacrifices…
which to me seem so very sad and feudal!
Oh, Yes… I hear the crowd shouting now,” Hosanna! Hosanna!
Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!”
It has to be Him… I should be able to see Him soon! He’s riding on a colt…
through the Eastern Gate… A King that all believers bow before!
We prepared dinner for Him when He told us He would be coming…
to eat with us… all of the disciples will be there…
Martha prepared the meal… and I have a gift that I am going to give Him…
I will anoint His head with a bottle of expensive perfume…
that I have saved for just such an occasion…
and dry his feet with my hair!
What a wonderful day this day will be… our special guest …
Jesus is coming … we’ve been expecting Him and we’ve made such a fuss…
If I were a scribe… I’d write this date down in the scriptures…
The Son of Man came to dine with friends… on this Palm Sunday!
We listened as He taught us all things and then He blessed us!
