Ash Wednesday Reflection

 

Quiet Reflection

Selma Christ Global Methodist Church

 

Palms on the ground

Forgotten, trampled.

Reminder of triumphant praise

Swallowed in rejections chant,

 

CRUCIFY, CRUCIFY,

We reject this king.

 

Palms on the ground

Forgotten, forsaken.

Reminder of devotion’s praise

Swallowed in rebellion’s sin,

 

Actions, Attitudes

We rejected this king.

 

Palms on the ground

Remembered, burned.

Reminder of Wednesday’s return

Swallowed in repenting cry,

 

Forgive, Forgive,

We need this king.

 

Traditionally, Palm Sunday’s palms are gathered, dried, and burned. The ashes that remain are used during Ash Wednesday Services.  Receive today in an attitude of repentance and gratitude for all Jesus suffered so that we may have salvation.
