General (Vol. 1)

Donkeys

  1. Donkeys have a history
    Of being marked out and untied
    By heroes, kings and prophets
    For an unlikely ride.

  2. From Nazareth to Bethlehem,
    Down to Egypt and back again,
    A mother and her baby,
    The sweetest pain.

  3. From Bethany to Jerusalem,
    A king rides for a crown,
    He took a thorn out of my foot
    When He got down.

  4. No, He finally got down
    When I bore Him to a cave;
    Tethered, I saw an angel
    Opening His grave.

  5. I could not bray or run
    As the stone was rolled away,
    I saw the women weeping
    On that happy day.
