A Wild Little Donkey

“And it came to pass, when He was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt TIED, whereon yet never man sat; loose him and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. And they that were sent went their way, and found even as He had said unto them. And as they were loosing the colt the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord hath need of him. And they brought him to Jesus: And they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon." Luke 19:29-3529And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. (Luke 19:29‑35).
There once was a wild little donkey,
He had to be tied to a tree,
But Jesus was thinking about him,
He said, "Go and fetch him to Me."
And when they had brought him to Jesus,
As quickly as ever they could,
That restless, that wild little donkey,
Became quiet, obedient and good.
When Jesus was riding upon him,
He went just the way that he should,
A patient, submissive wee donkey,
Made so by the blest Son of God.
And Jesus is able to make you
Just what He wants you to be,
He loves you, and longs to forgive you,
And make you both happy and free.
So come now, dear child, unto Jesus,
Let Him make you a child of His love,
He will teach you and guide you and bless you,
Till with joy you shall see Him above.
