Open
for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter and give thanks to the Lord…
I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.
The
stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it…
Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
(Psalm 118:19-26, NIV)
Hymn: Give
Thanks to God 
or Image of the Unseen God
Your
attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death‒
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:5-11, NIV)
Hymn: See
the Servant
or No Other Life
Jesus…went
on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. As he approached Bethphage
and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent
two of his disciples saying to them, "Go to the village
ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied
there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it
here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' tell him,
'The Lord needs it.'"
Those
who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told
them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them,
"Why are you untying the colt?" They replied,
"The Lord needs it."
They
brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and
put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks
on the road.
When
he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount
of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to
praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had
seen:
"Blessed
is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Peace
in heaven and glory in the highest!"
Some
of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher,
rebuke your disciples!"
"I
tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the
stones will cry out."
(Luke 19:28-40, NIV)
