                                                                  I t was you, who knew me,                                                                                                                                                                                   I  always waited for the day,
                                                                                   from the day my first cell shaped;                                                                                                                                          from my heart i always knew,
                                                                                        You received me then, and also now,                                                                                                                                                         Wanting more to see you,
                                                                                                 Without complaints, you took over.           I prepared myself to lay.

                                                                                                          B orn into you with love,         I  took the best palm out,

                                                                                                         I grew up in You and You in me       only to wave at you
                                                                                                       side by side, you kept me teaching,                       waiting to see you, to hear from you,
                                                                                   love,  sacrifice and life,                               As you entered the city,
                                                                            Yes!  You taught me who You were,                     I saw you riding on the donkeys back,
                                                                                                                 You hugged me so tightly                                                                                                             everyone I see ran to wave at you.
                                                                                                                     when I felt lonely                                           As you came closer,

                                                                                              You are the world to me                                          I tried my best to reach out and call you
                                                                                        and You made me                                             but you seem not to see me,
                                                                                    a humble son of Yours,                                     I never gave up and shouted
                                                                            carving my name on Your palm                                 With my tiny voice “Hosanna”,
                                                                                   You have turned my                                                  I tried and tried and tried,
                                                                            songs of agony to that of hope.                              When you passed over,
                                                                                   Without you, my life                                            You looked at me and smiled,

                                                                                        fails to make any sense…                                   I never got to say hello,
                                                                     And at this hour,  not yet late,                                                but that was never shallow,
                                                                  If not now, I never know when.


                                                                      T hanking you with love,                                                                         I  felt your presence closing into me,

                                                     for what you have been to me in the run                                                                                   Out of joy I stood
                                                none can replace you, my Lord, for                                                                                                       with every strength I held
                                                   U ARE MY LIFE…..
                                                                                                                                                                                                          I shouted “Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!!”

                                                                                                                                  .
