Easter Chant
(This chant can be presented by having 4 groups or persons read each verse aloud.) Hosanna ! Hosanna ! Hear the people cry. Riding on a donkey The King is passing by. Riding to Jerusalem Wave those palms and cheer - Jesus the Messiah the “Promised One” is here. Crucify ! Crucify ! Hear the people shout ! Tell governor Pilate To bring Jesus out. Crucify ! Crucify ! Hear the people cry - “He claimed to be our king, Now he must die !” “Forgive them ! Forgive them ! They don’t know what they do I’m willing to die On this cross for you. I’m your king, Lord, Messiah. It is finished ! I cry - For your sins to be forgiven God’s Son must die “ He’s risen ! He’s risen ! See the joy on Mary’s face. She came to the tomb And now she must race To tell the disciples - “We don’t need to fear, Jesus has been raised to life . He’s alive ! He’s here ! “ ©Don Stott, http://eliab.com |
