Jesus Rides a Donkey Down the Hill
‘I need a donkey,’ said Jesus to his friends.
‘I need a donkey.’ (Hee-Haw!)
‘And if the owner of the donkey should ask you what you’re doing,
Say I need to ride the donkey down the hill.
I need to ride the donkey down the hill.’
So Jesus’ friends went to find a donkey.
They went to find a donkey. (Hee-Haw!)
And when the owner asked, they simply answered,
‘Jesus needs to ride the donkey down the hill.
Jesus needs to ride the donkey down the hill.’
Then Jesus’ friends put a cloak onto the donkey.
A cloak, not a saddle. (Hee-Haw!)
Then Jesus climbed on and headed for Jerusalem.
And Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
And Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
The people were surprised when they saw him on the donkey,
When they saw him on the donkey. (Hee-Haw!)
Then they remembered a promise – a promise from a prophet
About a king who rides a donkey down the hill.
About a king who rides a donkey down the hill.
So the people cheered when they saw him on the donkey.
The people cheered. (Hooray!)
They cried, ‘Hosanna! Save us, Lord!’
As Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
As Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
Then they laid their cloaks in front of the donkey,
And they laid down palm branches too. (Hooray!)
And they treated Jesus just like a king.
As Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
As Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
But the religious leaders grumbled and groaned.
They cursed and swore and moaned. (Moan! Moan!)
‘You’re no king!’ they cried. ‘You’re nobody special!’
As Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
As Jesus rode the donkey down the hill.
‘Say what you like!’ called Jesus to the leaders.
‘Be as stubborn as donkeys!’
