Ride On To Die Lyrics - Card Michael

Michael Card 

Seems the sorrow untold, as you look down the road 

At the clamoring crowd drawing near 

Feel the heat of the day, as you look down the way 

Hear the shouts of Hosanna the King 

Chorus 

Oh, daughter of Zion your time's drawing near 

Don't forsake Him, oh don't pass it by 

On the foal of a donkey as the prophets had said 

Passing by you, He rides on to die 

Come now little foal, though your not very old 

Come and bear your first burden bravely 

Walk so softly upon all the coats and the palms 

Bare the One on your back oh so gently 

Midst the shouting so loud and the joy of the crowd 

There is One who is riding in silence 

For He knows the ones here will be fleeing in fear 

When their shepherd is taken away 

Chorus 

Soon the thorn cursed ground will bring forth a crown 

And this Jesus will seem to be beaten 

But He'll conquer alone both the shroud and the stone 

And the prophesies will be completed 

Chorus 

On the foal of a donkey as the prophets had said 

Passing by you He rides on to die
