Which crowd?

Matthew 21:6-9

The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

So which crowd will I be in

The one that shouts Hosanna

Or the one that cries Crucify?

Or will I, like so many others

Be caught up in the fervour of the day

and just go along with the others for safety's sake

Good rarely comes of rocking the boat

Those who go against the crowd 

are often crushed

But, every once in a while,

we have to stand alone

We cannot always hide among the crowd

So what will I stand for

Shall I have the courage of my convictions

Or will I succumb yet again

to the energy and safety of the crowd.

Hosanna?

Or Crucify?

The choice is mine.

The consequence His.
