On a borrowed donkey he rode into the city
amid the welcome and cheers of the crowd;
a rug of palm branches looked very pretty
you can hear their Hosannas wild and loud.
With borrowed bread He fed the hungry
On the grassy mountainside;
With borrowed fish and without money
He fed them all far and wide.
On a borrowed boat in which to sit
to teach the people the Word;
He borrowed a bed in which to sleep -
The words He uttered the heart stirred.
He borrowed a room to eat the Passover
where He and his apostles sat gathered;
eagerly waiting before the evening passed over
to reveal how his body would be battered.
They borrowed a stretcher to lay his body,
they borrowed the winding sheet;
his face and body were bloodied
all the way down to his humble feet.
But the crown that he wore & the cross that he bore
they were his to endured on that dark day in history;
to bring salvation to the broken millions & more.

...and a beautiful poem it is, rr!
This story I heard from my dad!
It resonates so vividly!
He is gone now, but not his
voice in my heart!
Your poem was his story!
