Hosanna.

I've always LOVED this word. I think the first time I learned the meaning of it was while watching the movie/play Jesus Christ Superstar when I was pretty young. As Jesus was about to be crucified, people were singing a song with the lyrics: "Hosanna - Save us Oh, Lord by your merciful hand..." which, I eventually learned, were not just lyrics to the song but also the basic meaning of the word "Hosanna". I like to use this word when I pray, mostly because of it's poetic nature, but also because it is relevant to my relationship with Christ and it helps me express how much I need Him.

Anyway... I've been waiting for a GOOD song to come along that describes what "Hosanna" means to me... and, well... I finally found one! And it comes with even a BONUS for me. The killer bridge at the end has become my personal anthem! Check it out. I posted the lyrics below.


Hosanna

Verse 1:
I see the King of Glory
coming down the clouds with fire          
the whole earth shakes         
the whole earth shakes


I see His love and mercy
washing over all our sin   
the people sing   
the people sing


Chorus:
Hosanna
Hosanna           
Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest


Verse 2:
I see a generation
rising up to take their place
with selfless faith
with selfless faith


I see a near revival
stirring as we pray and seek
we're on our knees
we're on our knees


Chorus:
Hosanna
Hosanna           
Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest


Killer Bridge:
heal my heart and make it clean
open up my eyes to the things unseen
show me how to love like You
have loved me
break my heart for what breaks Yours
everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
as I walk from earth into eternity

Chorus:
Hosanna
Hosanna           
Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

Chorus:
Hosanna
Hosanna           
Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
