Cherub Choir Sings on Palm Sunday


On Sunday, March 16, at 5:00pm, there will be a special service for families to celebrate Palm Sunday and the Easter season. The Cherub Choir, ages 3 through kindergarten, will be helping to lead the congregation by singing "Little Grey Donkey" during this worship service. I encourage the children to practice this song, which we have been learning during Sunday school, using the lyrics and audio link below:

Little Grey Donkey (Audio Link)
By Natalie Sleeth

Little grey donkey, little grey donkey, little grey donkey, ho.
Do you know just who it is you carry on your back?
‘Tis no ordinary load, no mean or common pack.
You are blessed of all beasts to carry into town
Christ the Lord of Gallilee, He wears no earthly crown.

Little grey donkey, little grey donkey, little grey donkey, ho.
Once you were a simple beast of poor and lowly state.
Christ Himself hath chosen you and honoured is you fate.
Though your path with palms is spread, make haste along the way;
You were destined here to ride on this triumphal day.

Little grey donkey, little grey donkey, little grey donkey, ho.
Yonder is a grassy hill; it’s known as Calvary.
Up against the cloudless sky a barren cross you see.
Little grey donkey, Little grey mare, don’t hide you head in shame.
For you bear the Lamb of God, and Jesus is His name.
For you bear the Lamb of God, and Jesus is His name.
