ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

This painting of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, was done several years ago, when Paul was commissioned to do a relief carving for a church in Florida. The kindness in the face of our Savior is contagious. The painting is now in our current church in Minnesota. Today we celebrate Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem for the final week of His life. He deserves our praise. Hosanna in the highest.

When the week comes to an end,

We set time aside to worship God,

He has given us the blessings of this life,

He has brought us through peril, depression, fear and temptation,

Because He is our Heavenly Father.

We give Him glory and honor,

We thank Him for His intervention in our lives,

We bring our petitions before Him,

We bare our souls and ask for His forgiveness,

His presence is seen from the majesty of the mountains,

To the spectacular, shining seas,

He whispers to us in the wind,

He shows His power in the weather,

He gives perception to those who study His Word,

He guides our lives from beginning to end,

With every ounce of strength in us,

We praise His holy name,

From each rising moment to quiet sleep,

Come unto the Lord and sing,

He is more than worthy of our praise.

HOSANNA!
