Hosanna by Hillsong United

I've actually heard this song many times last year and the tune's still stuck in my head. I finally found out what the title is through my school's chapel. This song really touches me, it makes me think more deeply in GOD. Everything in the song just makes sense, very much indeed. It's not a matter of who or how good it's sung, but rather that how the heart sings it. I mean my heart just cries out for the holy spirit to come into me and I want the whole Earth to really shake. I want to see my generation being saved. I want to see everyone saved in GOD, especially in the last days of this World! Yeah and every time this song is remembered, I get the chills.

All the other worship songs have the same effect too! Whether they are composed long time ago or very into the new, they are meant for worshipping GOD. These songs are not to be judged, whether being a "cool and hip" song or "some kind of oldie" song. We sing because we want to worship GOD and not choose the songs that we like, like just because it's a cool song or whatever. All songs of praises and worship rocks! Don't you Christians out there agree? Youths are generally affected in this situation. Nowadays, new songs are created, with instruments like the electric guitar and the drums. Maybe one can say younger people are more attracted to these songs, as they are more familiar (just as one of my friends told me) with them, rather than past songs; the "oldies".

Hosanna by Hillsong United

I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

Yeah

I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest x2

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

[Chorus]

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 from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to Eternity

[Chorus] x2

Hosanna in the highest
