Josh Garrels - Hosanna/Holy Holy Holy Lord Lyrics

Hosanna/Holy Holy Holy Lord is a compact act of adoration built from biblical worship language. The repeated declaration of God’s holiness and might places His character at the center, while the statement that heaven and earth are filled with His glory widens the song’s vision beyond an individual prayer. Repetition functions as sustained praise rather than narrative development, allowing a few sacred phrases to carry the whole lyric.

The cry of ‘Hosanna’ adds both praise and an appeal associated with salvation. Its placement ‘in the highest’ recalls the acclamation surrounding Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, while ‘holy, holy, holy’ echoes the worship heard in Isaiah’s vision and in Revelation. Together, these lines present God as sovereign, glorious, and worthy of continual honor. The song remains focused on congregational language that can be sung without explanation: holiness, divine power, glory filling creation, and praise rising to the highest place. Its simplicity supports a reverent atmosphere of worship and awe.
