Crowd Mentality
Behold they come with waving palms
To greet him as their King,
They welcome him with open arms
They shout for joy and sing.
Did Jesus know as He passed by
That road with palm leaves strewn
That He’d hear shouts of “Crucify”
From those who changed so soon?
We gasp in disbelief to hear-
How could they be so betray
The one who came to heal their fear
To take their sins away?
But even now the people bow
To crowd mentality
That tells us how to think and speak
It’s just normality!
As Christians we are called to swim
Against prevailing tide
To pray for strength to stay with Him
Throughout that fateful ride.
For though it’s hard to bear the load
And no-one’s path is straight
It was for us His blood that flowed
He leads to Heaven’s gate!
Prayer for Easter Morning
This morning, let your heart be new
With love of Christ, who died for you!
He gives New Life, was born to save,
He broke the chains of death and grave,
So reach out to the lost and take,
A loving gesture for His sake,
For Jesus’ Love amazed, surprised
The sick, despairing and despised.
And healing of the nation starts,
With tiny flames within our hearts
My prayer for you
My prayer for you this blessed morn
Is that your Hope shall be reborn,
That Faith shall rise with wakening skies
That you shall see, with Mary’s eyes
The Risen Christ in shining light,
Come to dispel the shades of night!
My prayer for you this radiant day
Is that you’ll always watch and pray
That you will know the radiant Joy
That trials of life cannot destroy
My prayer for you this peaceful night
Is for a vision burning bright
Of healing power and ceaseless praise
And Love to bless you all your days.
