He Saw

While looking over the city Jesus could see
That it would suffer because of apathy
How He longed to save it from such a fate
But the time was upon Him – the time was late
He know men’s hearts – the fickleness of man
He knew their great need and the Father’s plan
He saw as they lifted their voice in praise
That many would cry “Crucify Him” in just a few days
Heaven was watching as the multitude ushered in Jesus as King
They saw the little children dance and sing
Great was the expectation and excitement in the air
The streets were lined with Angels that were also there
Two realms were watching – one blind and one that could see
The eyes of man were hindered by sin and ideas preconceived|
They only saw their desire for a King to crown
They shouted praise as they waved palms and threw them down
But the heavens saw God’s great plan unfolding before them|
They could see man’s great need to be freed from sin
Indeed the rocks would have shouted if the children did not sing
For Greatly to be praised is Christ the King!

Luke 19:41-43|And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
