Ride on King Jesus

When Jesus came into the City 
riding on a braying ass
He was greeted with a carpet of palm leaves 
as He came to pass
it was a symbol of triumph 
the laying down of palm leaves
it was a statement of victory 
for the people to receive

unlike most other sovereign leaders 
arriving in full regal gear
Jesus came in a simple garment 
with salvation in the air 
as God is not concerned 
with the outward trappings of society
His main concern is for those 
who are living in spiritual poverty 
for God desires to eliminate 
any and all kind of oppression 
and He does not care about any riches
no worldly possessions 

now the people was so rejoiceful 
it made the Pharisees mad
they asked Jesus to rebuke his followers 
for being loud and overly glad. 
but Jesus said I can't tell him not to be joyful 
and dance about 
for if they stopped that jubilation 
then the stones will start to cry out 
for blessed is he who received the joy 
that comes from the Lord God 
even the king such it's Me 
must have him in my heart 

ride on King Jesus 
so that can realize 
ride on King Jesus 
towards our eternal prize
follow your faith, never stop, 
never turn around nor look back
be aware demonic strongholds 
waiting to ambush and attack 
ride on King Jesus ride from Mount Olive banks
ride on King Jesus on an untamed coach flank 
ride for your chorus of cheerers 
those who have your back 
fellow disciples in Christ 
in unity on the right spiritual track
just know there'll always be a choir of critics 
who never say a kind thing
the haters, unbelievers and gossipers 
who think the worse about everything 
ride on King Jesus, go forth and follow your faith
ride on King Jesus, Your destiny now awaits 

the joy of Palm Sunday, a day of jubilation and cheer 
the joy of Palm Sunday, a time to draw the Lord God near 
ride on King Jesus, be aware that Judas is on the down low, ride on King Jesus. It's time to start the show 
and at the Last Supper which became jesus's final meal 
He stood before his betrayer, while his destiny was revealed 

for whatever life throws at you, 
you must choose and decide 
will you follow God's destiny for you 
like the day that Jesus did ride 
ride on King Jesus on Good Friday destined to die 
ride on King Jesus on Easter Sunday. Your Spirit to rise 
ride on King Jesus towards your ultimate destination. It might have been your crucifixion, 
but it was all salvation 

Ride on King Jesus
