Jesus, you and your
followers had varied receptions.
Some days there were
shouts of loud hosannas,
but other days,
hurled stones and curses--
saying take him away
from the earth,

Some who follow you
today
walk in the midst of
trouble.
Preserve them against
the wrath
of their enemies;
stretch out your hand
and deliver them, we
pray you, Lord Jesus.
