5 days – so much change

Zechariah 9:9 and Matthew 21:8,9; 27:20
Rejoice! your gentle King has come,
proclaiming peace to everyone
he has salvation to bestow:
the crowd were glad their joy to show.

Within a week the tide had turned, –
the anger of the leaders burned,
persuaded those who gathered round,
their gracious King to death to hound.
