Part 2 - Holy Week Events
In this 2nd of a 3-part Bible study on the Easter events, Caroline reads select events from Holy Week from the Gospel of Mark including the betrayal of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Caroline, a musician and composer, also shares her heart and her song that bridges the gap between Palm Sunday and the crucifixion.
I Will Lay My Palm Branch Down
(c) Caroline S Cooper

V. 1

From a joyful celebration to a lonely night of pain,

The time had come. You chose to face the cross.

So we would see just who you are, and why you had to go so far.

You sacrificed it all to save the lost.

Chorus

I will lay my palm branch down. You set aside Your crown.

To show Your love, You paid the highest cost.

So I bow my head in shame, but You gently call my name.

I'll lay my palm branch down at the foot of the cross.

V 2 

When the crowds had gone away and there was nothing left to say,

on a hill there stood a silent empty cross.

Soon the world would know your plan. Soon you'd live and breathe again.

You sacrificed it all to save the lost.

Chorus

I will lay my palm branch down. You set aside Your crown.

To show Your love, You paid the highest cost.

I used to bow my head in shame, but You gently called my name.

I'll lay my palm branch down at the foot of the cross.
