Branches In Our Hands

"Branches In Our Hands" is a reflective hymn written for Palm Sunday, capturing the contrasting emotions of Holy Week. The song vividly recounts the scene of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where the crowds joyfully wave palm branches and proclaim Him as King, only to later turn against Him as He is arrested and led to His Passion. Through its poignant lyrics, the hymn asks a challenging question: "Are we like these people?" It invites worshipers to examine their own faithfulness to Christ, especially in moments of trial and temptation.

The hymn combines themes of repentance, steadfastness, and trust in God's mercy, ending with a heartfelt plea for grace to remain faithful to Christ every day. With its compelling imagery and profound message, "Branches in Our Hands" is suitable for Palm Sunday liturgies, personal reflection, or as part of Holy Week devotions.
