Freda's Garden:

Welcome to my Garden.
This is what is known as Palm Sunday and begins
"passion  week." This is Jerusalem and today we will begin
a journey of the last week of Jesus.
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who killed the porphets
and stoned those who were sent to you, how often I have longed to gather
your children like a hen gathers her chicks under her wing, but you were not willing."
Matthew 23:37

OH JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
He longed to save you, but you wouuld not hear.
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
He came among you, He was so near.

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
You killed the Prophets of old.
Oh Jeusalem, Jerusalem
You missed seeing the story unfold.

Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
With your laws and tradition.
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
You left out love in your mission.

Oh Jerusalem, Jeusalem
Jesus cried for your loss.
Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem
You sent Him to the cross!
