hey going to upload a few poems over Holy Week. as we prepare for celebrating the rescue, redemption and resurrection
Poem for Palm Sunday.
Written after meditating on Luke 19:41-42
Where amongst the party atmosphere of that palm branch waving, cloak laying, ‘hosanna to the son of David’ singing donkey ride it saids.
As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.
You Saw It
You saw it.
Mid the Joy filled celebration
The shouting and dancing became a backing track
As your eyes reminded your heart of your fate
You saw it.
Before time’s unchanging rhythm began
The stars finding their place in the sky, the first sunrise
Adam’s first breath, first sin, your fathers redemption promise
You saw it.
The city you knew would be destroyed
Your people who needed more than a fat ram’s blood
Who’s healing would flow from your own scars
You saw it.
The prophecy of all time would be fulfilled
When you could finally lead your people to your fathers judgement throne
Knowing it’s by you they have been rescued
You saw it.
Standing on Grace
