We bid you, Jesus, <br />come into our Jerusalem. <br />Enter into our hearts <br />where hatred and bitterness <br />can possibly lurk and thrive, <br />cutting out the petals of love. <br /> <br />We bid you, Jesus, <br />come into our Jerusalem. <br />Enter into our family life <br />where love and faithfulness <br />can possibly be choked <br />by thistles of fear and mistrust. <br /> <br />We bid you, Jesus, <br />come into our Jerusalem. <br />Enter into our working places <br />where stress, boredom and <br />discontent may eat away <br />all our joy and energy. <br /> <br />We bid you, Jesus, <br />come into our Jerusalem. <br />Enter into our churches, synagogues, <br />mosques and temples <br />where power struggles and <br />personal interests blind us from <br />living in God's way. <br /> <br />Enter into our Jerusalem, Jesus, <br />on this Palm Sunday.<br /><br />Elizabeth Padillo Olesen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/enter-into-our-jerusalem-jesus/
