A Song for Palm Sunday written by Sean McMahon

A SONG BY SEAN MCMAHON TO THE TUNE OF “GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY”

All Hail King Jesus Christ

(lyrics by Sean McMahon, to the tune of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” by Stan Jones)

Rejoice, O Jerusalem, your King approaches near

The time has come to end the rule of death and the reign of fear

No prowling Lion e’er again shall gnash his teeth at thee

Behold the Lamb of God rides in for love’s true victory  

Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!

All Hail King Jesus Christ 

In the beginning, He split darkness from the light

And now, the daughters of the day from the sons of the night!

Riding in humility, by truth He conquers all —

Whether goats or sheep, whether great or small

Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!

All Hail King Jesus Christ 

But what sort of conqueror rides in with a white flag?

What sort of rider rides in on a humble ass?

Surrendering to enemies, and suffering to death

Serving another’s sentence, paying another’s debts?

Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!

All Hail King Jesus Christ 

What could we ever add to Him, simply waving palms?

For He meets us in our need, with His words of healing balm

He didn’t come for His own glory, but to save, and to serve

So that all receive His healing, follow Him, and learn

Yippy-eye oh, Yippy-eye aye!All Hail King Jesus Christ
