Palm Sunday

 

Praise

When people praise you beware!

The people praised Jesus and laid palm branches at His feet

And cried out Hosanna, Hosanna.

Proclaiming Him the son of David

And thus the King of Israel.

Only a few days later to cry out crucify Him, Crucify Him

And hang a plaque above His throned crowned head,

That mockingly read The King of the Jews.

When people praise you beware;

Their hearts and their words are fickle.

This is why God may hesitate to answer our prayers.

Because after our prayers are answered,

Our fickle hearts may walk away from God,

Until we need Him again.

Jesus however proved His love for His Father,

By humbling Himself and taking the form of a slave.

And rather than carry Palm branches,

He carried His cross,

Until He died.

Because of this God the Father exalted Him,

Because He knew His Love was true.

Our love for God is proved True

Not by the words we say,

But by the crosses we carry.
