Palm Sunday

A million prayers beat on Your ears,
You've wiped a thousand million tears,
And sent Your angels to protect
The seven we did not expect
To see again this side of Heaven.
You kept them safe, our beloved seven.

We awakened on this Palm Sunday;
Our thoughts 2000 years away,
To time when You were facing death,
Blessing this world with dying breath.
Today once more the palm leaves wave,
In acknowledgement that God can save.

From triumph to that black Friday,
We follow as you wend your way.
Suffering Your every wound and blow,
We walk with You as on You go,
From dark despair to bright glory;
Our rescued one more Easter story.

Their suffering we don't yet know,
Their loved ones felt each hurtful blow.
The lesson taught so long ago
Is happiness can follow woe,
If we remember God is King
And triumphs over everything.

Please change our enemies to friends
And guide us as this wartime ends.
May Easter bring the joy of peace,
Our love for You and man increase.
Let us not in happiness forget.
The many who are sorrowing yet.

We've proven we're the side with might.
Please keep us on the side that's right.
