Come to where the crowds will be,
see a strange and gentle king
on a donkey travelling.
Refrain:
Come and follow my leader,
come and follow my leader,
Jesus Christ is riding by,
come and follow my leader!
2 All the people shout his name,
waving branches, sing his fame,
throw their coats upon his road,
glad to praise the Son of God. [Refrain]
3 If the soldiers draw their swords,
will we dare to sing these words,
be his friends for just a day,
cheer him on, then run away? [Refrain]
4 Jesus goes where things are rough,
Jesus knows when life is tough,
always comes to us, his friends,
so his story never ends. [Refrain] Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Palm (Passion) Sunday Scripture: Luke 19:28-39 Languages: English Tune Title: SEE SAW SACCARA DOWN
