waving palm branches
people shout hosanna -
Christ the King has come
the Passover feast
preparation of the lamb -
Jesus' last supper
a time of prayer
Father, not my will but yours -
betrayed by a kiss
angry fists are raised
crucify! crucify him! -
hatred replaces love
Christ nailed to a cross
the Holy One rejected -
perfect sacrifice
the empty grave mocks
God's only son conquered death -
Jesus is alive!

Amazing grace is my soul’s sweetest story.
I found my faith in Him… at the cross of Calvary.
Amazing grace, my redeemer’s rhapsody,
I saw eternal life, listening to this melody.
Amazing grace leads my spirit’s saintly sound,
And raised my sinking soul from the gory ground
Amazing grace gave life its sweet rendition.
Through heaven’s spiritual gift, you brought redemption.
Amazing grace! The angels hail hosanna.
Let me be in the blessed band to sing hallelujah!
Amazing grace! God bestowed glow and glory.
Love raised Christ from death to change my sorry story
Amazing grace is the spring of life and love.
It flows to man from that glorious garden above

allusion, appreciation, beauty, seasons,
waiting now, anxious
lest the cold white invasion
smother all our hopes
a man and a woman
sculptured in snow, the snow shines
they melt into one
snowfall strikes silence
wind sings hosanna on high
harmony in nature
the earth turns to mud
love plants itself, furrows deep
into the thawed world
even loneliness
must shed its heavy coat, now
sparrows are heralds
ice covers the earth
cold, resolute, beautiful
only the sun shines
so many snowfalls, so
many buddings in spring, so
long to claim one's life

Isabella of Aragon sitting high up upon her
jewel stoned throne. Patron monarch of saints,
scholars and the arts. Noble woman of the
heart. Isabella of Castile Spanish Queen
quiet surreal.
Well and he came to her with a bargain and
she believed in him. She was intrigued by
the thought of an old culture still
primitive in nature. And what an adventurous
woman she was. And the ways of the new world
she did come to love!
Oh Isabella of Aragon sitting high up upon
her jewel stoned throne. Turning her eyes to
the villas and saying Hosanna! Gracious
Queen of Spain, Lady Isabella.

Playing daily drums with notion,
Singing daily psalms for all nation.

My blessed Jesus, eternal Sovereign One,
prayers lifted up in whispers and songs
to the Son.
I was ruled by sin,
yet, in sinner's grief, restoration flowed in.
Hosanna to the gentle Lamb of seven horns and eyes,
You're the Lion of Judah in rosy morning sunrise.
Steadfast Redeemer-
we are believers,
You reign in Your Kingdom of the Highest realm,
no storms of life can prevail, for You're at the Helm.
Our Communion is with You,
the One we know is True.
Hearts and souls rise to praise You in voice,
You Alone are Heaven's choice.
Christ, so crowned in Glory,
joining You someday-
after our finished earthly story. ~

blessing, deep, fate, father, god, hero, inspirational love,
To help us stand
Higher than before
God love saw more
Precious are their hearts
We are never apart
Felt from inside
Where hope and love resides
See what was kept for thee
God love has set us free
Thank you my Lord
Moving us forward
Your glory kept Divine
It allowed Jesus to shine
We have shared
What our Lord declared
Never shall ignore
What we felt was more
You embraced Mary doves
Offered by her love
Holy to Holy
God holds our Glory
To honor our Messiah
Hosanna, Hosanna
Jesus kept no enemy
Show his people mercy
Always ready to forgive
Our Lord said live
Accepted what is old is now new
Our faith is in you
