Enemies gathering in the
city
stiff-necked people of God
unable to see, blind to
the living Christ
who stood in the land,
offering hope to all
Choosing the gauntlet, the
trials,
going as the firepot, the
torches,
between the branches waving
the sacrifice coming
fulfilling the prophecy
the Covenant of God
More than a prophet
the shoot of Jesse,
the Son of God
the living Messiah
going to the Temple
to live out God’s plan
The Lamb, the offering
choosing the road to
Jerusalem
setting his face on his
future
knowing the path he was
walking
journeying, by his choice
to the cross, to the skies
