Ride On, King Jesus
April 13, 2011 Leave a Comment
Palm Sunday is this coming Sunday, April 17. Everyone knows the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry to Jerusalem, but take a minute to read the account in Matthew 21:6-11 anyway.
There are a number of versions of the lyrics. I chose the basic one to share with you.
Ride on, King Jesus, No man can a-hinder him.
Ride on King Jesus, ride on, No man can a-hinder him.
Jesus rides on a milk white horse, No man can hinder him
The river Jordan he did cross, No man can hinder him.
See complete lyrics here. And, there’s a good bit of background for using this song on Palm Sunday here. Along with our “hosannas” this Sunday, we can also shout, “Ride on!”
There are a number of renditions online, but this is my favorite by Jessye Norman. Take a listen.
Don’t miss this very creative arrangement by Rev. Timothy Flemming.
And, I just have to mention this choral arrangement by a high school choir.
