Hosanna!

Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You, we turn to You
Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You, we long for You
Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away

We sang Hosanna today during worship and Pastor Reuben preached about Palm Sunday. He talked about how the word Hosanna isn't just a praise, it's also crying "Save us!" and how Palm Sunday was really about presenting and remembering Jesus as the perfect sacrifice. The sacrifice so that each and everyone of us would be saved.

Hosanna, Hosanna
You are the God who saves us
Worthy of all our praises
Hosanna, Hosanna
Come have your way among us
We welcome You here, Lord Jesus

His sermon founds its way into my weary heart today. After all that's happened, I can only say Hosanna, Hosanna, Lord Jesus! It is your perfect love Lord, that gives me the comfort and joy in my darkest moments.

Hear the sound of hearts returning to You, we turn to You
In Your Kingdom broken lives are made new, You make us new

Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day
In Your presence all our fears are washed away, washed away

Father, thank You for your perfect love, that gives me the comfort and joy in my darkest moments. Thank You, that in Your name, broken lives are made new. Thank You that because of Your love, we are saved. As Easter comes again, I can only say... thank You.

Almost 6 months ago, this song touched my heart so much. Today I want to share it with you, my friends, again:

As we come into Your presence we remember every blessing
That You've poured out so freely from above
Lifting gratitude and praises for compassion so amazing
Lord, we've come to give You thanks for all You've done

Because of Your love, we're forgiven
Because of Your love, our hearts are clean
We lift You up with songs of freedom
Forever we're changed because of Your love
