My LORD - Gentle - And Yet So Strong . """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Written by Stella Mitchell April 2017 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" My LORD - gentle - and yet so strong - rode Into Jerusalem - on a donkey's colt - in triumph - Amidst a joyful throng - - who even threw their coats Along the way - like a red carpet - laid down for the Seeming famous - great and good - that we might Do - to honour them today . But - this was no ordinary man of high esteem - or Galiant fame - but GOD as Man - who let Himself be Led - that most extraordinary day - by those who thought That He had come - as an earthly conquering king - to Lead the way - to overthrow and reign - both there And then - as ruler over their domain . But - no-one knew - that GOD had wrought a different Plan - a plan to lead us on a narrow - untrod way - to Calvary - forgiveness - and the cross - then into His eternal Home - free from the shackles of these earthly bonds - that Hold us in their grip of Death and Sin - into the freedom - Grace - and wonder of an everlasting Life - with Him - Our Redeemer - Saviour - Father - GOD and KING. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" I know this is late in coming for Palm Sunday ... But throughout this week we are on a journey to the Greatest Day of the whole year .. which is Easter Day , when our Lord and Saviour rose up from the grave , and conquered sin and Death for us all ...once and for all. No other sacrifice is needed now from us except the sacrifice of Praise to our loving God who has rescued us from Hell and has opened the way to heaven for us . May many come to know this wonderful Saviour this year , and be assured of His free gift of Eternal Life . Amen. Happy Easter with His love Stella X Vote for this poem
