burning our hope – v2

denying the promise
the One foretold
a King for the people
but not fast enough
impatient, not believing
burning our hope
the palms of triumph
Christ’s entry
into the city of David
into Jerusalem, the Temple;
but the palms soon forgotten
the change not fast enough
calling for His crucifixion, His death
the Christ on the cross
the One foretold
a King for the people
the people of God
