A Few Days Later

The week began with a cheering crowd
"Blessed is the King" their joyful cry
A few days later the mood was changed
Their angry yells of crucify
On Sunday He had rode a colt
Triumphantly through the town
A few days later soldiers goaded Him on
He was beaten and broken down
The week began with loyal friends
Who followed wherever He'd go
A few days later He had been betrayed
And denied before the cock could crow
The week that started out so great
Turned bad as their Teacher died
But the sadness would soon be gone
When as their Savior He would rise.
