Ride on King Jesus

He came riding on a braying ass
upon a carpet of palm leaves He did pass 
yet He didn't show up in regal gear 
He wore a simple tunic with salvation in the air 

ride on King Jesus 
follow your destiny 
ride on King Jesus 
fulfill the prophecy 

the people were cheerful 
but the Pharisees were mad 
that Jesus's followers were behaving 
overly glad 
It was a day of jubilation and total glee 
a day of liberation to be spiritually free 

ride on King Jesus 
follow your destiny 
ride on King Jesus 
fulfill the prophecy 

God wants to eliminate any and all oppression 
He has no care for riches nor earthly possessions 
His concern is those in spiritual poverty 
the lost and forgotten souls of our society 

ride on King Jesus 
follow your destiny 
ride on King Jesus 
fulfill the prophecy

go forth Lord Christ follow your faith 
go forth Lord Christ the promise awaits 

ride on King Jesus 
follow your destiny 
ride on King Jesus 
fulfill the prophecy 

and at the Last Supper 
Jesus's final meal 
before His betrayer He stood 
His destiny was revealed 

ride on King Jesus 
towards your ultimate destination 
yes it was Your crucifixion 
but it became our salvation 

ride on King Jesus 
King Jesus ride on
