Arousing Their Anger – v2


The righteous, the leaders
in the things that He said
their power crumbling
as the people came to believe
palms at His feet

Arousing their anger
Christ in Jerusalem
now in the Temple
questioning their faith

Blind to the truth
the Messiah in their midst
only seeing the threat
the coming of the storm

Holding onto their power
paying a horrible cost
siding with Caesar
judging Emmanuel guilt
the lamb upon the cross
