A Prayer Before Palm Sunday

And do we yet understand,
Lord Jesus,
as the year go by
and we hear the story again?

Can a poor man on a donkey
dying like a slave
succeed?

We like success so much,
the kind you feel and touch
and put your hands on
right away.




What success
can anyone find
in a Cross?

Or is there success
in faithfulness?
When you can say:
"Your will be done!"
"Father, forgive them."

Like the two from Emmaus
we hope for easy gain.
Come walk at our side,
and tell us what matters most,
O Lord. -- author unknown
