Waving of Palm Branches there, and laid ahead of Christ.
Yet, He knew, before weeks end, He'd pay sins horrid price.

Threw the money to the ground, committed suicide.

Pontious Pilate had Christ scourged, with the evil flays.
Of leather belt with sharp metal, as well as with edged bone.

Not a Suffering Servant, there...but a Warrior King;
To free Jews from Roman Rule, and the peace to bring.

Christ ascended back to Heaven in just forty days.
Then, on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, did come down.

At the appointed time one day, Christ, returns to Earth.
Victory only for all those, who received New Birth.

Eagerly or there compelled, all with voices raised;
Will be bowing before Christ declaring Him as Lord.
For His Word is sharper than any two edged sword.

Each day is important there, and not just a phase.
Situations, they can change, in blink of an eye.
Tomorrow promised to no one; you don't know when you'll die.

At the moment of your death, eyes in a lifeless glaze.
Either Hell or Heaven there, is your eternal place.
Based on what you chose to do, with God's Amazing Grace.

Either loved, or cast away, as one He's never known.

When the Judgment Time has come, there are no delays.
Your life you will account for there; with God, you can not fudge.

For what Christ did for all mankind, none there, can repay.

To accept, or there reject, The Lord's Precious Voice.
