Hosanna
MercyMe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest
I see the King of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
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 near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees
Hosanna Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
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, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
The song "Hosanna" by MercyMe is a powerful worship song that calls out to Jesus with praises and asks for healing and cleansing. The lyrics are divided into three distinct parts. In the first part, the song praises Jesus with the word Hosanna, which is an expression of adoration and worship that means "Lord, save us." The song proclaims that Jesus is the King of glory who will come on the clouds with fire and shake the earth. In the second part, the song speaks of Jesus' love and mercy that washes away all our sins. The people sing in response to this love and mercy. In the third part, the song speaks of a near revival that is stirring up as people pray and seek Jesus. The people are on their knees calling out Hosanna, which means "Save us now." The song ultimately ends with a plea for Jesus to heal our hearts, show us the unseen things, and help us to love like He has loved us, as we walk from earth into eternity.

This song is a reflection of the celebration and joyful singing as Jesus entered Jerusalem on his final stage to save mankind before crucifixion. Hosanna is an expression of boundless praise, adoration and love; pure worship. Thank God for Mercy ME who have put it down again in major fashion to glorify the person and promise of Christ

Does Mercyme have another version of this song?? This does not sound like the one that I used to listen to. I am almost certain it was them , but it sounded different.
