[Verse] Through the gates the crowds did cheer A humble King to them drew near Not on a horse with pride to vent But on a donkey's back he went [Verse 2] A King of peace not swords and might The promised dawn in gentle light Fulfilling words from prophets' song The lowly beast he rode along [Chorus] Hosanna rose the voices loud A savior walks among the crowd On lowly steed he claimed his throne The anointed one His name was known [Verse 3] Not golden robes No crown adorned But palms were laid The path transformed With every step The truth spoke clear For heaven's King was standing here [Bridge] No horse of war nor armor's gleam But love's soft power ruled supreme A rebel act in hearts to reign Through sacrifice not worldly gain [Verse 4] A donkey bore the weight of grace Into the hearts of every place Not force or fear but gentle hands The prince of peace laid love's commands
