He Came Riding On a Donkey
by The Common Cup Company

Album: Draw the Circle Wide: The Common Cup Company Live, Vol. 2

He came riding on a donkey, He came riding into town
Slow and easy, kind of lowly, He came riding with the dawn
His disciples walked beside him, staying close, a little shy
Not too sure where he would guide them, On to live or on to die
But all the morning sang his praises, waking birds and dancing wind
Here he is, the Son of David, riding on to take his throne

Then the children gathered singing, shouts of laughter bursting cheer
In the streets their song was ringing: Hosannas filled the morning air.
Timid adults strained to see him, caught the Spirit, joined the song
Spread their cloaks along before him, branches flashing in the sun.
So all the city sang his praises, waking streets and dancing crowd
Here he is, the Son of David, our Messiah, Son of God.

In our fasting and our feasting, called to follow in his way
Called to walk his road to Easter, called to live his cross today
Hosanna to the Son of David, Hosanna in the heavens above,
Blessed is he who comes to save us, blessed is he who brings his love
Let us join to sing his praises, open hearts and souls to God
He is with us, Son of David, God's anointed, Christ the Lord!
