Worship Central - Hosanna Lyrics
Lyrics
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
Hosanna, hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
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
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

HOSANNA - LIVE IN MIAMI - Hillsong UNITED
Meaning & Inspiration
Worship Central's rendition of "Hosanna," captured live in Miami and released in 2017, is a powerful sonic declaration rooted deeply in biblical truth, aiming to elevate the listener's gaze toward the divine. The song's essence is a profound acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as King, a concept that resonates throughout Scripture, from the triumphant entry into Jerusalem described in all four Gospels to the heavenly worship depicted in Revelation. The repeated cry of "Hosanna" itself is not merely a song title but a plea, an ancient Hebrew exclamation meaning "Save us, we pray!" (Psalm 118:25). This isn't just a catchy chorus; it's a theological statement, a recognition of humanity's need for divine intervention and salvation, a need Jesus so powerfully met. The live setting amplifies this message, creating an atmosphere where the communal outpouring of worship becomes a tangible expression of faith and dependence on God. The song, in its performance, moves beyond a simple melody to become an anthem of surrender and adoration, calling to mind the disciples' exaltation of Jesus as He entered Jerusalem, with crowds shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" (Matthew 21:9). This act of recognition and praise foreshadows His ultimate victory and reign. The message is one of ultimate authority, ascribing to Jesus the praise due to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (1 Timothy 6:15-16). It’s a song that invites contemplation on the suffering servant who is also the victorious ruler, bridging the paradox of the cross and the crown. This live version, in its impassioned delivery, serves as an invitation to join in that timeless chorus, to acknowledge Jesus’ lordship in every aspect of life and to live with the hope that His kingdom will ultimately prevail, fulfilling the promises spoken in Scripture.
