Intro/chorus 1:
Hear the song of all Creation.
Hosanna!
Hear the stars and moon and sun say.
Hosanna!
Listen to the ocean waves,
And hear what the thunder says,
Hosanna to the King of kings!
Verse 1:
Hear the echo of the noise,
As Jesus sets out to destroy,
And cast out all the merchants
From the Holy Place.
See the anger in His eyes,
But then look close and realize,
There is still a light upon His face!
Chorus 2:
Can't you keep these children quiet?
Hosanna!
This is no place for a riot.
Hosanna!
If you try to quell these girls and boys,
The very rocks will shout for joy!
Hosanna to the King of kings!
Verse 2:
As the courtyard settles down,
The children gather all around
To thank the one who gave them back
Their place to pray.
But soon their hearts are overcome,
They start to shout for joy and run
To sing and leap and laugh and say,
Chorus 2:
Can't you keep these children quiet?
Hosanna!
This is no place for a riot.
Hosanna!
If you try to quell these girls and boys,
The very rocks will shout for joy!
Hosanna to the King!
Hosanna to the King!
Hosanna to the King of kings!
