Six days to Passover; Jesus, to Bethany
Came and supped with Lazarus - Martha served; Mary
Anointed Jesu' feet! Sweet odour filled the place!
Her hair wiped! Judas Iscariot cried: "Such waste!"
But Jesus said "This is 'gainst my burial day:
You'll e'er have the poor with you, but not me alway!"
Come the next day, Jesus rode to Jerusalem
On an ass' colt, with people waving palms at them!
While Pharisees fumed, e'en Greeks sought Him out!
Jesus said "My hour's come"; to live, a seed - don't doubt -
Must die." Troubled, Jesus prayed...God thundered reply!
"I'm the world's light!" cried Jesus. "Believe or you'll die!"
