HOSANNA, HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST
By Kimberly Willingham
Palm branches draped on solid ground,
A donkey's hooves make clacking sounds.
Dividing the crowd, He silences the pack.
A doe faced King rides tall barebacked.
He brings hope to the world on a carpet of green.
Faces, once drenched in sadness, shout, New life He will bring!
Such celebration for a man and deity in one.
Jubilant dancing before God's powerful son.
Sacred sacrifice, unknown at the time,
Security I have gained; for, Jesus in mine!
John 12:13
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
"Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"[b]
"Blessed is the King of Israel!"
