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 Jesus Christ Superstar

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!
