Palm Sunday rally

I woke up on a Sunday just five days before I died

Told my friends to get a donkey quick, for to Jerusalem i must ride

The prophecy said a king will come humble and riding low

So they went and snatched a little foal and to town then we did go

We left from Bethany headed down to the Kidron Valley

Everybody cutting palm branches down for this long awaited rally

Not every day that God comes ridin on a donkey into town

they call this day Palm Sunday,

the day that the Lord came ridin down

Jerusalem‘s just a couple miles and the ride was uneventful

but When we started gettin close people started gettin joyful

They threw their coats right on the ground and cut the palm branches too

They made a road so soft and smooth

that carried the good Lord through

We left from Bethany headed down to the Kidron Valley

Everybody cutting palm branches down for this long awaited rally

Not every day that God comes ridin on a donkey into town

they call this day Palm Sunday the day that the Lord came ridin down

we entered town. They were looking down, kind of puzzled like from the walls.

the Pharisees and the Roman guards walking nervously down the halls

They wondered why such a poor young man

Would come riding like a king

They didn’t know how things were gonna go

And what the rest of this week would bring

We left from Bethany headed down to the Kidron Valley

Everybody cutting palm branches down for this long awaited rally

Not every day that God comes ridin on a donkey into town

they call this day Palm Sunday the day that the Lord came ridin down

The sad thing was, though the people shouted

Hosanna to the son of David

in Five short days they would change their ways

And have me executed!

Yes, they’re going to have me crucified

We left from Bethany headed down to the Kidron Valley

Everybody cutting palm branches down for this long awaited rally

Not every day that God comes ridin on a donkey into town

they call this day Palm Sunday the day that the Lord came ridin down
