IF THESE SHOULD KEEP SILENT
The Disciples of Christ were filled with excitement;
Jesus rode into Jerusalem for prophetic fulfilment.
The prophet Zechariah had foretold this glorious Day;
The Anointed King would lead them all the way.
They had seen His power heal the sick and raise the dead;
They had sought to comprehend all that He had said.
Though there were gaps in their understanding still;
They believed that Jesus was the King in God’s Will.
There were people who had objected to their cries of praise;
These had opposed Jesus and their voices they would not raise.
But the response of their Master and Lord cut short their shout;
“If these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”
The Disciples could not and would not keep silent about their King;
Into the Kingdom of God, Jesus sought out humble souls to bring.
The Disciples came from humble backgrounds before their Call;
To their Lord and King, they would present and give their all!
