Sweetly Sang the Donkey is a sermon song from the Palm Sunday Sermon 2024 of Dr. Paul de Jong at First Presbyterian Church Fort Myers Florida. The text is found in each of the four gospels, but on this day the sermon was from Mark 11:1-11 and the donkey was stressed. In my mind, I thought of the children's song " Sweetly Sings the Donkey" and I extended it with bits of " The Eentsy Weentsy Spider." Of course it had to be in the key of Dmajor, The bass provided consists of only two chords: Dmajor and Amajor7. It tells the story of the procession on Palm Sunday and like Balaam's donkey, the doneky carrying Jesus is given the gift of speaking. It contrasts the crowds that on Sunday wave Palms branches and later in the week wave their fists demanding the crucifiction of Jesus. It brings in the interesting note that Solomon, son of David, also rode a donkey. This is a fun children's choir song with a very deep message.
