A crowd gathered in the street
Welcoming the King
Palm leaves scattered on the ground 
Robes laid at His feet

Hosanna to the King who comes 
Riding on a colt 
Proclaiming highest praise to Him
Before the rocks cry out

He overturns the temple wares
Rebukes the Pharisees 
Tells stories of hard times to come
The crowd now disbelieves

By night they take Him quickly
A fast and unfair trial
He stands before the crowd again 
They shout crucify

A crowd gathered in the street
To mock this would be king
His body whipped and beaten down
He walks in suffering

Up to Calvary they go
Hands and feet are nailed 
They raise Him up for all to see
A sign says He is Lord 

Then He spoke three words of hope
Father forgive them
And all down through the ages 
His mercy now does win

He gave His life that day for us
No one took it from Him
Through His sacrifice for us
He's washed away our sin

Oh what a wonderful Savior
Who died that day for me
Purchased my salvation
From sin He set me free
