TRIUMPHANT ENTRY (PALM SUNDAY)
Leader: “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” Today we celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
People: Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
Leader: Jesus humbly rode into Jerusalem on a donkey for the Feast of the Passover. The crowd spread their cloaks on the road and others laid palms to prepare the way for His victorious coming.
People: Rejoice! Rejoice! The King arrives!
Leader: Five hundred years before Jesus, the prophet Zechariah told of the Messiah’s coming in humility and peace.
People: Rejoice! Rejoice! The triumphant King has come!
Leader: On the journey to liberation from sin, we celebrate Christ’s victories, sorrowfully contemplate his sacrifice, and we revel in His resurrection, the ultimate victory.
People: We remember the long road to freedom that our ancestors traveled, filled with triumphs, death, and new life.
Leader: Ride on, King Jesus! Ride on, Conquering King!
People: Jesus came “to bring good news to the poor; to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind; and to let the oppressed go free.”
Leader: With excitement and joy we welcome you into our lives. With loud Hosannas we join you on your march toward liberation, justice, and love for all people.
All: Rejoice! Rejoice! The triumphant King has come!
PRAISE CHORUSES
LORD I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH
Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I’m so glad You’re in my life
I’m so glad You came to save us
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high

HOSANNA
Hosanna, I love you.
You are the joy of my heart. You are the strength of my life.

BLESSED ASSURANCE
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect communion, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]
Perfect submission, all is at rest.
I in my Savior am happy and bless’d,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love. [Refrain]
