J.Han: Talk of the town was that the Messiah was on His way. Palm branches laid across the road like cloaks of chambray. People were cheering and celebrating with great joy. They were clapping and worshipping God with great noise. The Pharisees spewed their hatred, told the crowd to die down. But if they ceased to praise, the stones surely would've cried out! The fulfillment of prophecies embodied in this man of glory Entered the city on a donkey? This' a Cinderella story. But then it gets gory as the Son of Man Sees hell opened up before Him - He could barely stand it. Though He was innocent, He was whipped and gashed, Stripped and laughed at, and was forced to wear a thorn crown as a cap. Nails through His wrist and feet, then hung up on a wooden beam. See His body, bruised and abused, dangling there for humanity. Yo it was all a part of the Father's plan to redeem the sinful people Giving them a way by sending Jesus, the spotless Lamb to die for their evil. This is our King; lift your praises, go and sing it loud! This is our King; our allegiance to Christ, we say it proud! This is our King; exalted above the highest throne! He's coming BACK on His chariot to take us home! This is our King; lift your praises, go and sing it loud! This is our King; if we're silent even the stones will shout! Jesus our King; exalted above the highest throne! He's coming BACK on His chariot to take us home! Sam Ock: Words could not express the sorrow in those darkened hours The perfect Lamb... dead, the followers they cowered It appeared that sin had beaten down the one they thought To be the Son of God... to think His body would rot! So the women they visit the grave the third day They find the entrance to the tomb open, rolled away! They see the empty deathbed, empty strips of linen A man dressed in white declares to them that "He is risen!" The Son of Man, victorious over sin and death Crushing the serpent's head, overcame the sinner's debt Enduring all the wrath of God for the adam's stains Opening the gate to Eden, where His holy presence reigns And the message He gave when He left us, was a mission to carry this news The Spirit he gives to all men, who carry the cross of Christ to all Jews And every gentile that the risen one of God is the only way to eternal life Given in surrender, risen in perfection, live out the name of Jesus Christ! Eyes blazing with fire, blood dripping from His robe and attire He's coming back with the armies of heaven, nobody knows what time or the hour Like a thief in the night, He's seeking the righteous ones patiently waiting for the groom Jesus the Christ, who's seeking the light, burning in the lamps in those refusing to move (Mathew 25: 1-13) He's treading the wine press of fury releasing His judgement over the wicked I say this with urgency to unbelievers and those who haven't submitted He's coming back with a vengeance, releasing a wrath poured out from the heavens A fiery lake of sulphur awaiting the devil and those in rebellion But those of the remnant, Jesus leads us into the gifts of the Groom The rooms He prepared in His Father's house in John chapter 14 verse 2 His children are revealed, creation no longer anxiously waits (Romans 8: 19) Adoptions final course where the sons and daughters are taking their place A new heaven and earth, a New Jerusalem descends (Rev. 21: 1-4) Making His dwelling with man wiping away the death and the pain, safe in His reign Eternally perfect, glorified bodies, oh how He's worthy His Sovereign plan completed, the Garden of Eden restored for His glory
