This Sunday my nine-year-old son joined the procession of children who waved palms and wove through the sanctuary as the rest of us sang “All Glory, Laud and Honor.”Holy Week has begun, beginning with sweet hosannas of Palm Sunday and concluding with joyful alleluias of Easter morning.Now, however, we are going to walk through the sobering in-between days.Our Lord walked it first, for real.Now I simply follow along, remembering.
You are the king of IsraelAnd David’s royal Son,Now in the Lord’s name coming,Our King and Blessed One.All glory, laud, and honorTo you, Redeemer, KingTo whom the lips of childrenMade sweet hosannas ring.
It is overwhelming, this love, that compelled Him to walk that unimaginably difficult path.
This is a beautiful reminder Ann.
Have a blessed week.
Nine years old is such an impressionable age. It was at that age, during the Easter celebration, that I received Jesus into my heart. I am happy that your nine year old son was able to join the procession of children who waved palms while your church people sang. I hope some at your celebration did shout Hosanna, as the children did as they joined the people on that first Palm day of old.
This really helped me thank you so much! Shared it with a number of buddies now.
