Ride on; ride on in majesty
Yet seeking no hostility;
To ride a colt is to proclaim
That peace, compassion is your aim.
Ride on; ride on compass’nately
For victims of cruel tyranny;
The poor and outcasts need a voice;
Give hope in which they can rejoice.
Ride on; ride on courageously;
Your message of equality
Will anger priests and Roman lords;
They’ll silence you; may use their swords!
Can we ride with him here today?
Can we ride with him all the way?
For peace, compassion still remain
The ways we can advance God’s reign.
