Hosanna to the Son of David

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

Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

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 is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

(Hosanna by Hillsong United)

I must say that I really like this song by Hillsongs. It reminds me of the scene in John 12:13 where Jesus entered into Jerusalem:

"On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel."

As I sung this song this morning, the words of the song really awakened my inner being as the words "Hosanna, Hosanna" resounded throughout the chorus. It just felt so very right as I echoed the chorus as I know someday before the spendid majesty of God, believers will fall in awe and proclaim it before Him.

Meanwhile while we are forging ahead in our earthly and transient journey, may we be a people of selfless faith who are willing to be broken for the purposes of God to be fulfilled in our lives.
