Palms to Ashes

from Transitions & Reflections by Bryan Odeen

/

lyrics

The palms of our celebration
And the cries of our exaltation
Hosanna hosanna in the highest
Have burned away to be ash now
To mark our repentance on brow
To dust you shall return

But in the end both are good
Both responses are as it should be
And in the end they lead to you
Exaltation and lamentation belong to you

Our mouths proclaim that you're loving
The world your glory is flooding
Hosanna hosanna in the highest
Yet with our words we are wailing
That we, imperfect, are failing
To dust we shall return

As together we journey
We'll feel both beauty and yearning
Hosanna hosanna in the highest
We'll also see that we're broken
In deeds and thoughts left unspoken
To dust we shall return
