Palm Sunday

"Hosanna" is the cry, as the man comes this way
Seating upon a donkey, coming slowly, gentle sway
And they greet this man with palms in hand
Perhaps thinking that he will restore their land
Palms of victory, declaring the advent of the king
Palms of victory, in such rejoicing they do sing
But only he knows that he will be crowned indeed
Only he knows what crown will be decreed
The ancient prophecy he is now making true
Sadness in this time of joy so well he knew.
