Like a People Triumphant

Like the people in Jerusalem
on the Sunday of the Palms
the King triumphant
entering their midst

They did not know
the rest of the story
the pain of His suffering
and His dying on the cross

The willing sacrifice
humble to God’s calling
going to the grave
rising in victory

Promising to return
in victory in triumphant
we waiting hopeful, expectant
for the coming of our King

Like a people triumphant
all of creation
singing praises and watching
for the return of the Lord

Joy to the world
ahead of His coming
the promise alone
giving us much to give thanks

Holy, holy,
our Lord, God Almighty
may we be joyful, ready
when our God comes to the earth
