JESUS ENTERS JERUSALEM
While Christ preached and taught the following three years
His mother stayed in Nazareth alone
In private she was filled with hideous fears:
When would the sword of Simeon be drawn?
In his hometown's synagogue our dear Saviour taught
They shouted him down for to call on him shame
He fled from their midst, bringing Mary distraught
Henceforth to Nazareth seldom they came
One day the news spread he'd been publicly praised
Seated on a donkey, he'd entered Jerusalem
Folks waving palms a holy uproar raised
He simply smiled, blessed and acknowledged them
"Blessed is He Who comes in the Lord's Name," they sang
In heaven and on earth the holy echoes rang
