Theme: Hosanna

Hosanna — save us, we pray — is one of the oldest cries of worship in the Christian tradition, ringing out from the palms and praises of that first triumphal entry and echoing through every century since. Songs built around this ancient acclamation carry both the joy of celebration and the urgent need of those who know their only hope is Christ. They place the congregation in the crowd that lined the road into Jerusalem, waving their own branches of desperate hope, and they rekindle the shout that no empire or indifference has ever quite managed to silence.
