Down the Mount of Olives – v2

Down the Mount of Olives
into David’s city
a familiar journey
that our Lord made

Down the Mount of Olives
after Mary’s anointing
the nard brushed on His feet
to prepared Him for the journey

Down the Mount of Olives
to the shouts of “Hosanna!”
palms put at His feet
for His triumphal entrance

Down the Mount of Olives
back into the city
to teach the people
about God’s true nature

Down the Mount of Olives
in chains after His betrayal
crying for the children
these people who were lost

Down the Mount of Olives
across the Kidron Valley
the ancient dead watching
where the prophets had led

Down the Mount of Olives
for His mock trial
the mob soon to cry out,
“Crucify! Crucify Him!”
