**I got this passage from a beautiful easter musical, Watch The Lamb.
Lion of Judah - Ray Boltz
"Is…is that it, Dad? Is that Jerusalem? The city of David, the city where God will live?"
"Yes, son, the city of the hope of all our people everywhere. And now we will be celebrating Passover in the very city of David and Solomon and Rehoboam and Jeremiah. I only wish your mother could have been here. We dreamed of the day we could take you boys and go to the city of our Fathers."
Rufus finally found his voice again, "And that’s where the Messiah is going to come, isn’t it, Dad? He’s going to walk right in and sit down right on the throne of David, huh?"
"Yes, Rufus. He will come one day and set our people free. A second Moses, even greater than Moses himself."
"Yea," Rufus went on, "Then the Romans’ll wish they’d never seen Judea. Mesiah will crush them like wheat a millstone, huh?"
Then little Alexander’s voice chimed in, "That’s not what I think Messiah’s going to be like."
"Oh yea, Alexander, what do you know? What do you think Messiah is going to be like?"
"Oh, I know he’ll be a King and a warrior and a judge and a savior," Alexander brought Methuselah close to himself, "but I think most of all, Messiah is going to be gentle…like a lamb."
(Song……)
Messiah would come, the earth would rejoice,
The people start to sing.
For they would behold, as scripture foretold,
A mighty King of Kings.
But He came as a child not like they had planned.
Not like they planned……
No elegant robes, no glorious thrones,
No armies at His side.
Could this be the One, a carpenter’s son,
A man condemned to die?
But a lion roared, deep inside this man.
Inside this man……
Lion of Judah, Lamb of God,
Glorious conqueror, suffering son.
Lion of Judah, with nails in His hands,
The mighty redeemer,
As meek as a lamb.
