All: Jesus, our Lord, we shout hosannas to praise you. With eager hands, we place our palms of praise on the path before you. L: Yet, Lord, we confess that the mouths that seek to praise you often deny or defy you. L: We confess that the hands that seek to serve you often become fists. L: We confess our praise is often empty. Just as the people of Jerusalem did long ago, We sing Hosanna, but will cry Crucify. All: As the crowd laid their palms in front of you, you took no glory for yourself. L: Yet, we confess that we crave acceptance and take the easy way. HYMN OF CELEBRATION... Lamb of God...TFWS No. 2113 SENDING FORTH EXIT MUSIC 4
