Two Processions, Two Responses
Entered Jerusalem in a triumphant way
Exited Jerusalem, what a painful day!
In the first, Jesus was carried on a donkey
In the second, carrying the cross stumbled He
First time, "Hosanna in the highest" was the song
Next time, "Crucify Him" was the cry of the throng
Before, branches of palm leaves were laid in welcome
After, wooden cross was laid on His shoulder numb
In the first, people on the road spread their garments
In the second, soldiers divided His garments
The first time, His disciples accompanied Him
The next time, His disciples fled the scene so grim
The first instance brought to Jesus immense glory
The next instance brought out His intense misery
First time, the sun was shining bright for all its worth
Next time, extensive darkness covered the whole earth
Two processions involving our Lord Jesus Christ
One, He is glorified, other, He's sacrificed.
