On Sunday, March 29, the Cherub Choir (including children in the current 3s, 4s and Kindergarten classes) will be leading the congregation in worship with the song, "Little Grey Donkey" at both the 11:00am Worship Service and the special Palm Sunday Children's Service at 5:00pm. The children will practice this song as usual during Sunday School as well as walk together from their classrooms to sing the Introit at the 11:00am service. Children, who also wish to participate in singing at the special Palm Sunday Children's Service that evening, are asked to arrive by 4:45pm to rehearse, as well. We hope you will join us on this special day!If your child will be singing "Little Grey Donkey" with the Cherub Choir, please email Elizabeth (maddygirl23@carolina.rr.com).
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.
