Hosanna

Under His own Father's Heavenly rays
All of Jerusalem broke out into praise
Traveling by donkey throughout the street
As thousands of palms were laid at His Feet

But not everyone was as joyously enthralled
As the Pharisees  seemed to be quite appalled
For every part of the law they could easily repeat
Yet with the unholy and unclean this Jesus would eat

They did not dispute that He could miraculously cure
But doing it on the Sabbath is what they would deplore
They would curse and yell down to the crowd
Every one stop for this noise has now become loud

Jesus looked up on these who were having such a fit
And as usual Jesus was using His Own Godly wit
'For even if  every tongue here, your silence you could bring
The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing'

Hosanna

You have a wonderful poem from the gospels, doing this amazing story good justice. It brings life and flesh to the Lord's journey to Jerusalem. God's peace be with you. Isaiah

Is this from that play or is this your own writing? I remember hearing some of the songs from that famous play but I never got to see it. Good one!
