Road to the Cross

We gathered to welcome the coming King,
As we laid down palms leaves and His praises sing.
For He was heralded through ages past,
And those there knew that He would be the King that would last.


Where were you when He passed this way?
Were you too busy to be there that day.
Do you only come to remember this once a year,
And never to come around till the next to reappear.

He cared enough to show the love that this world needs,
To plant the plan of salvation through the Word of God's seeds.
His blood alone can cover your sin,
And make you clean within.


We come again to the road but there is no cause for joy,
And we see a man whose visage we cannot employ.
For we know that He walked this road willingly,
Because He saw that through this sacrifice it would set us free.


He carried that cross to the hill of Calvary,
And there His blood was spilt for you and for me.
He loved us when we did not show love for Him,
And by His love, our salvation did stem.
